Author Connecting email form to an email account

I am at a mental brickwall. I created a form, created two text fields and a
"log in" button. What I want to have happen is when a person goes to my site,
enters their user name and password into these fields and presses "Login" it
passes thru to their email. Currently it links them to the email server and
forces them to re-enter their informtion.
What am I doing wrong. AARRGG!

you're not carrying the values. Put the values of the username and password
fields into session variables or hidden variables within the form and pass
them through with the submit. Then you can create an email form that uses
these values in the body of the email and mail it.

I probably didn't explain this very well. I created a page to help. Here is
what I want to have happen:
1. A person goes to this page ( http://www.eyabsut.com/index%20password.asp )
2. They enter their username and password
3. Press Login
It populates the users name in the "User Field" of the email server
It populates the Password in the "Password" field of the email server
This way the don't have to enter the information twice and it auto populates
the fields of the email server and you are looking at your email.
Does this make since?
