email set up wrong

The log in windows mail pop up keeps coming up. I log in using my username
and password and it pops up again. Any ideas. I recently had my computer at
the Gateway shop and they basically had to send me a new computer so I have
to start all over again. Had trouble with my server, got that fixed, but now
trying to look at my email and that same pop up Windows Log in box comes up.
Any ideas. Cyndi

Often a result of an AntiVirus application setup to scan email, are you
using one?

The repair shop may not have transferred all of your account information
to your new computer correctly. Try removing your email account under
Windows Mail, then restarting Windows Mail and adding the account
again.

Also, note that there's a quirk in Windows Mail that makes it difficult to
both set the option for remembering the password, and tell it what password
to remember, in the same session.

Click on Tools, then Accounts, then the affected account, then Properties,
then
Servers. If you add a checkmark before Remember password and click Apply
in the same session, the quirk often makes Windows Mail forget the password;
but if you tell it what password to remember and don't click Apply
afterwards
but in the same session, it's unlikely to remember this new password. So
either
put a checkmark before Remember password, then click OK and then click Close
to end the session, then come back to this window; or find the checkmark
already
there, leave it alone, click at the end of the dots for the password, then
backspace
over them then type the correct password, then click Apply, then click OK,
then
click Close.
