Re: Windows mail......asks for username

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?

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
