Windows Live Mail keeps Signing me In

Windows Live Mail keeps Signing me In on a PC where I removed my Hotmail
email. I even un-installed live mail and deleted the left over folders. When
I re-installed live mail it still signs in to my Hotmail account. I went
online and changed my password and that created a new problem. Now when I try
to sign into my Hotmail it makes me type in hard to read codes because
windows live mail on that PC is still trying to sign in with the wrong
password. How do I kill this thing?

Sign in is not related to the any type of email account setup in WLM.
Sign in is intended for synchronizing contacts and calendar data with that Live ID(your Hotmail account's) online storage of same(contacts.live.com, calendar.live.com)

To stop signing in instruct WLM to stop doing so.
WLM14x
Tools/Options/Connection
WLM 15x
Windows Mail button/Options/Mail

- click on Stop Signing in


Note: If you were signed in before with that Hotmail account Live ID...your contacts and calendar data were associated with that Live ID while signed on. If not signing on WLM will operate in the default mode and those Live ID contacts will not be available(ie..you will have to reenter your contacts or import from a previously saved csv, wab, or current windows user address book file). If you were using the calendar feature in WLM while signed on, you will have to reenter your calendar data when not signed on.

If you changed your password and received a prompt to enter a string of characters, that is normal..to validate the account after changing a password it is necessary. Logon on with that same Live ID at mail.live.com or account.live.com and meet the requirement.

Thank You Winston, That fixed it. I should have came here first. I thought
the connection tab was for the modem.

Thanks Again, Eagle
