Why do I get a 'Login failure 401'?

A login window keeps popping up. What is the password?

 
  • A common configuration error is a missing domain appendix (, *, , ) in the account name field. When you set up your account, make sure the setup wizard does not incorrectly assume an account name without domain appendix.

Please return to the account configuration screen and check that the

Account Name | User Name | User ID | Login Name
(this is not the email address field !)

has been entered as

joedoe477.com | joedoe477.com* | joedoe477@msn.com | joedoe477@hotmail.com

* this includes , , etc.


  • Another trivial reason for this problem is an incorrect password for your eMail account. Please return to the account configuration screen to correct. Also make sure the CAPS LOCK key is not accidentially on.
