I have McAfee installed and i use Windows Mail.

Only today, each time i check mail in Windows mail, it pop up a small window
where the window's title is Microsoft Security, and it prompts me for user
name and password.

And i found that i cant store the userpass word in the Windows Mail's Mail
account properties.

Why and how?

You probably have the wrong password saved in Account Properties.
It is all ******, so you don't know what is there.

That is why it is prompting you for a correct Passowrd every time you open
the Mail Program.
Delete the saved Password, re-enter the correct one, and click to save it
there.

My guess would be that McAfee needs to update their protective control over
the registry. There is a tool that lets you overpower such restrictions, if
you care to look into it.
