I have come across a security issue with the Windows Live Mail client, that when the login box opens, you can simply press cancel and it will log in, giving access to a user's emails.


I am surprised that no one has reported this and even more surprised that MS hasn't issued a fix for this, let alone caught this when they were developing the program.

I am sure this doesn't quite fit in this forum but I wasn't sure where to post it. I am hoping that some one here can report this to MS so that it can be fixed.

I don't see it happening. I tried while using XP but that shouldn't make a difference.

You can report it here: https://feedback.live.com/eform.aspx?produc...form&scrx=1
