I have recently switched E-mail providers. I am using an Hotmail based e-mail under it's corporate name, and had nothing but problems, almost three times per week something new hapens. Three days ago I tried to login to Microsoft Forums. It did not accept my password so I created a new one. Later I tried to download my emails, the Password was not accepted. One hour or more later with help from Tech Support from my e-mail provider,I was able to re-entered my original password which was accepted. Later or the next day I wanted to acces the MSFT Forum but again, the password was rejected. I entered the e-mail password and voila, it opened. I now have my E-mail, MSFT Forums and Windows Live all with the same Password. I am using Office 2007 and Windows XP Pro. I fear this many programs with my one password is very unsafe and fear the worst. I am using Outlook as my e-mail program Can someone help me please here: Shall I switch back to my old e-mail provider? How many E-mail providers out there among the big ones use a Hotmail based e-mail service or Internet service? are they both the same?Thank you very much for your help!
