I installed Vista the 1st time - Windows Mail worked fine. I had to change
drives, installed it again, Windows Mail is not keeping the toolbar
settings, the column settings, and I keep getting a pop-up telling me I
can't sign into Passport right now, please try again later.

Any of these familiar to anyone? Any fix ideas?

TIA
Bill

The passport error started appearing for me last night. As it appears
everytime you switch to another newsgroup, I jsut turned it off. I assume
it's some server side problem.

It never kept the toolbar settings for me and scrolling in the toolbar
customization dialog is all messed up. I think it's a known bug.

Thanks Chris -

I switched to another MS newsgroup that doesn't require a Passport.

I got the pop-up warning numerous times this morning.
Under Tools>Options>General, I unchecked
"Use Newsgroup Community Support Features". That
annoying pop-up went away.

The toolbar customization is messed up. However,
it only messes up the last folder you had open when
you close Windows Mail. I need my customizations
for the toolbar to move through newsgroups- so, I make
sure the Inbox folder is the last folder I have opened before
I close. Doesn't mess up my newsgroups' toolbar settings.

It was a server issue and appears to be corrected.

Thanks Michael

I am going to try the ''last folder open'' theory - I agree on the news
groups

Frank,

I'll give it another try - I just replies to another post in this thread and
was asked to my sign in. That whole ''passport'' deal is no friend of mine
