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".

    Sorry, I don't understand.

    • If you don't want to sign in, don't sign in.
    • If you don't want to sign in in the future, sign in, then open the Connection tab of the program options dialogue and select Stop signing in.
    • If you do want to sign in, but you don't want it to happen automatically in the future, then don't select the red-lined option.
    • If you do want to sign in and don't want to have to sign in in the future, select the red-lined option.

    You can always change your signed-in status using the right-most button on the Home tab of the ribbon.

    No, doesn't work. It's the first thing I tried but this problem goes a little deeper.
