help with Vista Windows Mail

[SHb]

I have a new Desktop Computer with Windows Vista Premium.

I set up Windows Mail / News and subscribed to some newsgroups.

When using E mail or newsgroups:
I keep getting prompted for user name and password (every minute or so).
What's up with that?

Sometimes when I am typing a post in a newsgroup I look up and the password
prompt is there and I am typing my post in the password box.
????!!!

When the Newsgroup folder is open and the newsgroups are listed
`some are bold and some are not.
`Some Newsgroups show messages when I click on them
`Some Newsgroups never show messages.
(if I go to a different news reader there are messages in those newsgroups)
So why can't I see these messages in Windows mail using Newsgroups?

Any help is appreciated.

I resolved the same problem by clicking on tools,accounts, removing the accounts and retyping the email address and passwords if that doesn't work, call your internet provider to test your settings.
