did you put the password it? did it accept it? if it accepts the password, next time it pops up just click "save password"

you never made a password to access your e-mail? are you sure? that doesn't seem right to me.

Please be more specific - exactly when is it asking for a username and password? When you try to download your mail - or try to open OE? Username and password is required to download mail - thats in your Accounts settings - but if it's asking for a username when you simply try to open OE you have multiple profiles or identities and you might want to look in the Mail applet in control panel.

Okay - ALL email accounts have a password - it was probably stored and you may have lost your stored passwords when you were fighting your viruses. It should be the same password you use to log on to your ISP.
