Windows Mail and Password

[jerseytx]

I have been using Windows Mail for about 1 week. Today when I tried to get
my mail I was asked for USERNAME and PASSWORD. When I set up Windows Mail i
was never asked to establish Username or Password. Now I can't get my mail.

Could really use some help. Please.
Thank You.

The prompt is coming from the mailserver, not Windows Mail.

Thank you for answering me. I have since found out that my ISP(Comcast) is
having problems with e-mail. When I try to use the ISP e-mail pgm I get
message: "Could not connect to the WebServer ..."

Thank you for helping me. I greatly appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who setup your Windows Mail for you?
You had to have a username and password at the setup.
While you don't need a user name and password to open Windows Mail, you must have a user name and password to access your ISP's mail servers.
Have you called your ISP for help?
