This is a stumper. I have Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail on two user accounts on same computer. Main user WLM works perfectly receiving email from .stny.rr.com and gmail account. The other user is set up to handle all my websites. This WLM worked perfectly for years and then suddenly started asking for my password for each account. At the same time, after loads of troubleshooting, I found out my server's firewall was blocking my Ip and I could not access any of my websites from my computer or any device on my home wi-fi. The server unblocked Ip several times and I can now see my websites again. (Websites were visible everywhere else but my home.)
I am unsure if that had anything to do with this email problem but two of the three website emails began working again, but the third one does not. WLM continually asks for password and then claims it is incorrect. Have of course changed it multiple times on C panel. Can access my email through C panel Horde etc but that program is so unusable for my purposes. I need WLM to work again.
Here is the error message:
Unable to send or receive messages for the (websiteusername) (info) account. An incorrect password was entered. The next time you send or receive messages, you'll be asked to enter your user name and password for this account.
