That prompt is for the username and password associated with your mail server.
Did you tell it to remember that information? If yes, but it still keeps doing the
same thing, that type of problem is usually caused by interference from a non-
compatible antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.
If turning off your antivirus email scanning function does not resolve
your problem, consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it
is less prone to suffering bad effects from overly intrusive antivirus

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons

My computer has just started asking me the same thing and I haven't changed
anything for some time now. I have been using Norton and it never bothered
me before. There is 1 thing that has changed however, my Norton has expired
and I haven't renewed it yet. Maybe there's a conection there?

"Windows security reqeusting username and password".
Please use only one thread per issue.
