Some email servers insist that you enter your username with no spaces
and no CAPITAL LETTERS. Some insist that you follow it with the
part of your email address starting with @, and some insist that you
don't. Many insist that you use CAPITAL and lowercase letters in
the correct places in your password. Many give unclear error messages
about what the problems are if you don't follow these rules.

I don't think it is how my email and password is formatted. When I initially
start windows Mail, I can get new mail, send mail, delete mail... everything
is dandy. After about 5 mins of leaving it open, a dialog pops up telling me
my credentials are wrong. If I wait for a wile before hitting ok, then cancel
(two separate dialogs)it will go away and let me do more email for a while...

I'm running the new avg free edition, either way though, same issue when I
was running mcafee. The problem isn't in how I enter my username or password
as I keep them saved and they work at first. The problem is somewhere in
windows mail. It starts with " Your Imap server wishes to alert you to the
following invalid credentials (failure)". You click the ok on that and up
pops the new message "The server has rejected your login. Please verify that
the user name and password is correct". So then you re enter the credentials
and the fun starts all over again and over again and over again and over
again. The only way that I've found to stop it is to close out of windows
mail and restart it at which point it works fine, downloads my mail just
fine, deletes it, everything...... until I'm on it too long and the fun
starts again.

I've got exactly the same problem. It's driving me to distraction. All
the details are correct and they all worked fine on Outlook Express, but
since moving to Vista and Windows Mail I've been getting this problem.

Look, you can look it up in Windows Help in Vista.
I learned how to look up the error numbers a long time.
Sometimes, you need to reboot a few times, then try again
After a few reboots, it will be ok.

I found a link for "Try clearing captcha" in googles own support pages and
ran it. Its early days but the problem appears to be gone - I have run
several transfers without the error popping up - time will tell !

You have to give it your login and password plus a human check (which is
what captcha is all about) it appears to automatically clear a cache or
setting on your machine.

Many problems are too complicated to be resolved by
consulting Windows Help. A search using Google is often more
productive. If that fails, users should feel free to consult the
responders here who are donating their time and expertise.

Ok, really frustrated. I've got two emails, both gmail accounts. When I first
set them up everything worked perfect. I know that I have the right port
numbers as directed by gmail, I also know that I have my user name and
password entered correctly. When I open my windows mail it will work just
fine at first, but after having it open for a short time I get these error
messages telling me that "The server has rejected your login. Please verify
that your username and
password are correct" . When it gives me the box to put the information in I
know that I put it in correctly, but the same error pops up over and over.
I'm sure it has to be something with the way it's working with IMAP or
something because I never had this issue with outlook and my pop mail
accounts. If someone could help I would greatly appreciate it. Should I go
back to Mozilla's thunderbird email? Would that be able to handle the IMAP
better? Vista issue maybe? Anyways thanks in advance for any help or
suggestions.
