Outlook Express Suddenly Requiring a Password
I tried to get into my email this afternoon, and Outlook Express asked for a password. I have never used a password to get in. Why now? There's nothing to click to have your password sent to you, so what do I do? We're expected an important email. I would appreciate help.

Can you access your mail via web mail? And yes, you would have entered a password when originally setting up your email account - ALL mail providers require a password to access mailboxes...If you find my response helpful, please click on the "Vote as Helpful" button!Thank you!My Blog
