• message: configuration cannot be verified - is the user name and password? None of them are wrong. I'm trying to set up my work email. How to solve the thi

  I have been using Thunderbird for a long time. One day he told me that my password is incorrect. After several attempts, the correct password decided to remove the e-mail account and start to charge. Now, when I put the account it says "configuration could not be verified - is the user name and password? None of them are wrong. I tried to change the password, contact my email provider and everything works fine except when trying to use Thunderbird. The email that I had tried to set up is at work. Any help in fixing this will really appreciate it.

  The best suggestion is to get the correct settings from your provider. They move to the top of their servers. They know the settings that work.

  Please help I need to retrieve my emails! Thanks, Sarah

  McAfee is a huge problem with Windows Mail.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 if you want to use, wait until you get the job of Winmail.

  Check if you can connect webmail and that works very well and it's not a problem on the end of the server messaging or because of misspelled powers.  Then delete your account in WinMail, compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and make sure that you have disabled the e-mail analysis then add your account to mail back again and see if it works.

• Windows Mail: Get a pop-up asking for my username and password

  Original title: "windows mail problem"

  From yesterday I can't open Windows Mail.  I get a pop up asking for my username and password.  I was sure that I had good, but since then I have rebuilt the account and still get the same pop up.  This is what happens in the error message:

  I downloaded Windows Live Mail and that no longer works.  I tried to configure Outlook and got the same result.  I have another identity on this computer and it works fine.  I read that Norton and MacAfee can have that effect, but I don't have one or the other.  I just downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials this week and email worked fine up until yesterday.   I contacted ATT, but they do not support Windows Mail.  I need more ideas here.

  Check with AT & T, or the Yahoo Server. They have made of your user name and password. Compare them with those that you entered when you first set up the account.
  The rest of the settings of your look ok to me.

• PC can see and access the laptop without asking for a user name and password but the laptop cannot access the PC because it asks me a username and password that I don't know.

  Vista - Windows 7 network connection. username and password is unknown.

  Hello

  I just got a laptop with windows 7 on it and I want to connect to my other PC for it, they are on the same network through a router. the PC can see and access the laptop without asking for a user name and password but the laptop cannot access the PC because it asks me a username and password that I don't know.

  If someone could answer this question, it would be great.

  Hello
  Maybe this can help.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  ------------------------------

  If your network consists only of Win 7 and you want a simple network, use it.

  * Note . There must be specific users. All means all users who already have an account now as users. This does not mean everyone who feel they would like to connect.

• Win 7 ask network user ID and password

  I'm having a problem connecting to a shared printer and a shared disk on a computer XP SP2 from the Profession. My Win 7 machines keep asking for network ID and password, that I have ever created. I have read and tried all of the suggestions of this old thread nothing helps:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-networking/Windows-7-asks-enter-network-password-when/2a8e6d6f-74a1-43C7-8530-24e8522ea955

  Here's what I have:

  -All my machines are on the same workgroup. All the machines Win 7 are not in a homegroup.
  -Laptop 1: Win 7 Home Premium with password necessary sharing network disabled
  Laptop 2: Win 7 Home Premium with password necessary sharing network disabled
  Laptop 3: Win XP Pro SP2 with simple files and printers sharing active and has a printer and a USB connected hard drive
  Laptop 4: Win XP Pro SP2 with simple file and print sharing enabled and allowed in a shared folder

  When 1 or 2 portable Win 7 laptop trying to access 3 laptop (XP pro), the screen that ask you network ID and password always come and I have no password set, but one of these two machines Win 7 has no problem to access the 4 laptop computer that is also running XP Pro. The two XP machines have no problem accessing one or Win 7 machines, and both Win 7 machines have no problem to access each other.  I see four computers on my network card in Windows 7. I know that someone may tend to think the problem is on the side of the XP, but I searched everywhere on my XP machine, including the local policy settings under administrative tools, firewall, date and time setting, etc. The two XP machines is not any antivirus software installed. They are old and have almost nothing except the operating system device drivers and the XP laptop.

  One thing I noticed, is that when I double-click the icon of the laptop 3 shown on my Win 7 network card, the ID and password prompt screen entitled the path. I can only say - it's as if the problem is in my Win 7 machine. If I double click on the computer icon laptop 4, I can feel about a second delay and all the shared folders that pop up.

  I think I looked everywhere evident that I can possibly watch. Suggestions more? The reason why I want to go 3 laptop is Portable 3 is relatively newer and faster than the 4 laptop and I want old laptop 4 Finally. TIA.

  OK, after a few days of curious, I found the problem and indeed it was... so easy. Here's what I missed - on the laptop that I had problem laptop 3, which takes place in Win XP Professional SP2 v2002, there is an option called "Network ID" under the properties of my computer (right click my Comuter), on the computer name tab. Once you click Network ID, go through the Setup Wizard and select "this computer is for home use and is not part of a business network", reboot the machine. Now Win 7 don't ask network and password identification number more.

• Microsoft sent an email asking for your username and password and what country you are, of stateing, that they were up-to-date at your service

  Original title: microsoft servvice

  I wanted to know if microsoft has sent an email asking for your username and password and what country you're stateing they were at your service day and need information to do

  Microsoft will never request this information in an unsolicited email. They are very likely that ask for any sort of password under any circumstances. Scam. Phishing attempt. Fake. Choose your own description. No Microsoft.

  Hello

  Its a SCAM!

  In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer
  Watch groups. Arm yourself with knowledge.

  No, Microsoft would not email or call you unsolicited. Or they would know if there were any errors
  on your computer. So those are the frauds or scams to get your money or worse to steal your
  identity.

  Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently - Microsoft is not unsolicited
  phone calls to help you fix your computer
