How to make Sign In to Windows Live Mail Automatic.

Dell Inspiron 15 - 3000 Series. OS windows 10.

I have Windows Live Mail (2002) for some years and am happy with it. However one annoying feature: When i open the program the Sign-In Box pops up. I sign in and cick  the 'Remember me and Sign me in Automatically'  box. However it never works. Each time I open the program I am presented with the Sign In Box and have to sign in. I attack a screenshot of the program with the Sign In Box displayed.  How to stop it appearing.

Hi,

Right click on your account and click properties -> Servers and type your password and check the "check box" for "remember password" in your accont settings.

Good luck!

Sorry for being so ignorant. When you say 'Right Click  on your Account', what exactly do I click on? Where do I find my 'Account'.
I found a 'Live Mail Properties' box. I attach it as screenshot. is this what you are talking about?

No, its not the right place. Have a look at this video: https://youtu.be/2909O3BgiG4 maybe it will help you.
I do not want to change my Email Pasword (in fact I have three email addresses working perfectly on windows Live Mail).
What I want to do is to stop the SIGN IN  User name and Password   being asked for every time open the program.   If I click on the option for the password to be Remembered and the program to Open without asking me for User Name and Password, it MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. See  my first screenshot above.

My windows Live Mail caters for three Email Accounts. The SIGN IN password is the same as for ONE of my Accounts.  I have gone to the Three accounts, into Properties, Serves, and renewed the Passwords I have for each of them. However when I restart Live Mail I am again asked for User name and Password
I typed passwords and followed instructions and it had worked. The SIGN IN. Box no longer appears when I open the program. Thanks.
Thanks for sorting this out
