username and password
Suddenly yesterday Windows Mail (on Vista) decided it needs my username and
password each time I open it, whether I've cleared & retyped & clicked "Remember" or not. Checked and even reset (just in case) Tools - Accounts - Mail - Properties - Servers with the correct info, and clicked Remember there (again). I get my comcast email, I close Windows Mail, and when I reopen - it requires username and password again. Found a message about disabling Avast mail checking, did that - no change. No change with Comcast, so it must be a Windows Mail change. Have tried a number of things over the past 24 hours, no change - still not actually "remembering" the info. Why, and more important, how do I fix it?

Remove the account, close & re-open WM and then rebuild it again to remove any corruption that has been caused to it. -- Regards Steve. MS-MVP. MAIL. [DTS] UK. http://www.getsafeonline.org/

username and password
Sometimes the account settings get messed up, and you have to remove
and re-add it. Go to Tools - Accounts remove the account (write down the settings first). close Windows Mail. Re-open WM, and add the account info again. -- Dave N.
