Under your logon information, you must enter your full e-mail address for the User Name, and your password. If you are the sole user of your PC, we recommend checking the "Remember Password" checkbox. If you share your PC with other users, we strongly advise against checking this setting as other users will have access to your e-mail account.

Be sure that you do not check the setting for "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)". This feature is not currently supported.
