why does windows live mail keep asking for my hotmail password? I deactived that account.

I haven't seen any questions that were similar to what I'm now asking. I've had Windows Live Mail for a few weeks now and things have been ok. This morning, I set up a Hotmail account, but then realized that was a mistake, so I deactivated it and also removed it from the Windows Live Mail. The problem is that every time I turn on Windows Live Mail, a window pops up and asks me to sign into my Hotmail account. That account no longer exists, so the password is useless. This doesn't affect my being able to use WLM, but it's a very annoying nuisance. How can I make this go away? Thanks.
