I am new to Vista and Windows Mail. Is there a way to configure settings so
that I don't have to type in username and password everytime I receive mail
and everytime I want to sent out a message? Thank you.

I am new to Vista and Windows Mail. Is there a way to configure settings so
that I don't have to type in username and password everytime I receive
mail
and everytime I want to sent out a message? Thank you.

It's supposed to be this: Click on Tools, then Accounts, then your email
Account, then Properties, then Servers. Under Incoming Mail Server,
enter your username and your password, with any approvals it asks for.
If there's no check mark in the box before Remember password, click on
this box and then Apply. Click on OK and then Close.

However, some people have reported finding that clicking on Apply
after clicking on the box before Remember password erases the
password, so you may have to experiment with this a little.
