There is no login for the Windows Mail program.
You do need to enter the username & password to connect to your email account on its server. Are you perhaps trying to access a free Yahoo account, that doesn't have POP3 access? -- Dave N.

When you get that repeated prompt for username and password, click Cancel,
which should then produce an error message. Right-click on your error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here. We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message. First, test your password by logging in to your provider's webmail. If that works, it proves you have the correct username and password. A likely reason for the username/password failing in Windows Mail is account corruption. One thing you should try as a possible quick fix is to delete that corrupted mail account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate that account. If that doesn't fix it, more drastic measures will have to be taken. Which antivirus are you running? As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off, although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects. In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled. If turning off the email scanning function does not resolve your problem, consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects from overly aggressive antivirus programs. http://download.live.com/wlmail For more on why email scanning in your antivirus is bad, see: http://thundercloud.net/infoave/tuto...ning/index.htm Gary VanderMolen, Microsoft MVP (Mail) ------------------------------------------------------ "kb" wrote in message ... every time i login try to log into my windows mail it says that i need to verify the login i do it over and over again ang i have never gotten it set up help me please |
