I am running Windows mail in Vista and I can't get it to retain my account
user name and password - have to retype it each time I run the program. Also
when I close mail it says it has a problem and then reopens the mail program.

Any advice?
 
This problem can be caused by an incompatible antivirus.
Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee
and Norton security programs. Those will need to be
uninstalled, not just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see

If after doing the above, the problem persists, it means the AV
corrupted your email account. Delete that account, restart
Windows Mail, then recreate the account.
