Question asked on Aug 19, 2014
I have Windows Live Mail 2012 running on Windows 8.  For the past several days my email account gives me an error that reads, "Your account is locked . . . too many attempts to sign in using incorrect email address or password".  Thing is, I haven't been logging in incorrectly.  My accounts work on my other devices (iPhone, Kindle, webmail).  Emails are being delivered, but I cannot open them or access my contacts, calendar, etc.  I would love any assistance ASAP. Thank you.
