Windows Live Mail keeps asking for my password when sending an email

Well, I solved it by changing and re-entering the correct connection settings, and then closed and reopened WLM. Sorry for the disturbance.

Shit, no, it still does it

Keeps asking for my password on smtp-mail.outlook.com all the time, even after relaunching WLM.

HALP.

Suggestions only :

1. Go to Settings > Accounts.
Right side, are you asked to Verify ? If yes, click it.

2. Not sure exactly what you meant by "relaunching WLM".
If you meant " uninstall and reinstall", then ignore suggestion below.
Otherwise, try this.......
Assuming you got your WLM by installing Windows Essentials 2012.
Go to Programs and Features > scroll down to Windows Essentials 2012 > right click at it > click Uninstall/Change > click Repair all Windows Essentials programs.............

Hope one of the above can help.

P.S. I suggest you UN-mark your thread. Others might by-pass your thread when they see the green check mark.

Hi David, thanks for your reply. I don’t know how to unmark the thread, I couldn’t find a way to do so.

I am indeed using WLM from Essentials 2012, but I cannot find the "Settings > Accounts" / Verify feature anywhere, see below:



What I meant by relaunch is close and reopen WLM. I tried your solution of reparing Essentials, no dice. There’s not even an error message, so I don’t know why it does this

RE : I don’t know how to unmark the thread
At the top of your thread, click the green Mark Unsolved.


RE : I cannot find the "Settings > Accounts" / Verify
Left click at the Start button at bottom left of the taskbar > left side, click the "gear" icon which is the Settings icon > click Accounts.

Thank you for your answer.
I should have mentioned I use Windows 7... Which is why I use WLM and not Windows Mail.

You have posted in Windows 10 forum.
I don't have an useful idea for you at this moment.
Please kindly wait a bit for other members to come along.

P.S. I am using WLM on my Windows 10 computers. If you upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10, you can keep using WLM. So far, free UPGRADE from Win 7 to Win 10 is still available although it is supposed to have expired long time ago.

Ah yeah, right. Cheers!

If you get the matter resolved, please post back the method.
It can be useful for Win 10 users too.
Good luck.
