I have Windows 7, when I upgraded all my outlook contacts transferred to Windows Live mail. I entered the pop 3 info for my comcast email account, I have never had to sign in for over a year. Now for some reason everytime I check my email, a  sign in window appears, the email still seems to work, maybe a little more sluggish but the sign in keeps popping up. How do I disable the sign in? If I wanted to get my hotmail mail I know I would need to sign in, but I use it just like I did my outlook account that is connected to Comcast email account.

Hi,

To disable the sign in window, open Windows Live Mail and go to:

The Windows Live Mail drop-down menu icon (top left above 'Email Message' icon).

Select 'Options', then click on 'Mail' from the selection offered.

In the mail 'Options' property pages, select the 'Connection' tab and click 'Stop Signing in' from the 'Connecting to Windows Live Services' section.

Click 'stop signing in' to any warning messages.

Click 'OK' to exit the 'Options' Property pages

That should do it.

    It is like the one on April 4, 2014 with Firedog. However, I do not want to sign in as the part red lined - "Remember me and sign in automatically".

    I still get the Windows Live Mail popup.

    Please describe this pop-up. Is it like the one I posted on 4 April? Or perhaps like this one?

    (... possibly with different text alongside the spinning doughnut).

    Or this one?

    (... with a different window title and a different server name).

    Or perhaps a different one altogether?

    Whatever it is, it has a purpose, but unless we know which one you're talking about, we can't possibly make any suggestions.

    I took the steps listed above and this did not work. I still get the Windows Live Mail popup. Does anybody have another way that works?

    Unfortunately, I always check that box, but it still asks me to sign in the next time. I have multiple mail accounts running through WLM.
