    Windows Mail is the Vista equivalent of Outlook Express.

    @ westy23 - Do you mean your Virgin/NTL account password?

    Tools>Accounts, highlight the NTL/Virgin account then Properties>Servers tab and you'll see the username & password boxes under "Incoming Mail Server".

    You can edit it (make sure that 'remember password' is ticked, if you don't want to re-enter it each time).

    Have you already changed your password with Virgin? Just changing it in Windows Mail will cause mail delivery errors.
