Hi. Whenever i open Windows Mail, i get a bout a 30 pause, then a "windows security" box pops up saying: LOGON TO HOME Please verify that both the username and password are correct for your mail server. There are then 2 boxes where i have to write my username and password, with a box below which you can tick which says: Remember My Credentials. Ok, so everytime this box pops up, and i fill in the details, and tick the box, and then click "ok". Straight away it will pop up again, with all the spaces empty, so away i go again and fill it all in and tick the box. THis has to be done between 10-15 times before it will let me into Windows mail. Any ideas how to get it sorted? I have gone into "Tools"- "Accounts" and made sure that "Remember Password" is ticked. Its driving me mad, any solutions greatly recieved Thx in advance |

Often associated with an Antivirus application setup to scan email that develops a tummy ache, are you running one?

If you are sure you have the correct username and password, then the problem may be that the account is corrupted, which is usually caused by running a non-compatible antivirus. Which antivirus are you running? Try this quick (temporary) fix: delete that account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate the account. Did that make an improvement? --=20 Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "casinohopper" <casinohopper@comcast.net> wrote in message = news:eIuF%23oq7IHA.4112@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >I am having this same exact problem.

Some email servers require you to enter you username with no spaces and no CAPITAL LETTERS. Some require that you follow it with the part of your email address that starts with @, and some require that you don't. Many require that you be careful about which letters in your password are CAPITAL and which are lowercase. Many give rather vague error messages if they find anything at all wrong with your username and/or password. Also, Comcast has started requiring the following change for some of its users, without being good about telling them in advance: http://www.comcast.com/Customers/FAQ/FaqDetails.ashx?Id=2288 Although these instructions were written for Outlook Express, they should also work under Windows Mail if you avoid the One Click Fix. They don't seem to have written the port number change into their Windows Mail instructions yet.
