Password

Working with Windows 7 and recently with Windows live mail instead of
Outlook. Problem is : i created three differents account protected by a
password when i log in windows live mail. Screen appears asking me for a
password so far it is ok BUT if i click cancel on that screen, i can reach
completly my mails without password. Is it possible that i didn't ask for a
password when i created one of the three accounts? how can i go back and
resolve that problem ? Thanks

The password is not to prevent WLMail from starting. It is to login to
Windows Live.
You have to use a password for your Windows user login.

To add to Ron's input..
You did not create three different accounts protected by a password when you logon to Windows Live Mail...you may have created
three email accounts in Windows Live Mail or created 3 Windows Live Hotmail account for use in WLM and the web interface.

If you can logon to any of thoes 3 accounts at https:/account.live.com using their respective username and password then you may
have done both.

Neither will provide password protection for Windows Live Mail..

In other words, the passwords are protecting your web access to these
accounts, not the WLMail on your desktop. That is covered by your PC logon
password.

If you are away from home and want to access your email from a business or
friend's PC, you can via the internet / web service and it will require the
password - so strangers can't access your email. If you go to the internet
on your home PC, to the web access for the email, you again, will have to
use the login.

But if you are home, logged in to your PC and pull up WLMail you are not
required to sign in. If you need to protect your personal mail from other
users in your home who may open WLMail, you will have to set up separate PC
user accounts and be sure to log off your user when you are done. Each user
will have to log on to the PC with their own account, and then what WLMail
displays will be specific for each user.
