Hi Linda,

First:
Make sure your antivirus program has all of it's email scanning options
turned off. If you have Norton or McAfee, uninstall it and use
something like the free Avast instead. They are not compatible with
Vista. Test and see if it is working ok now.

'Free antivirus - avast! 4 Home Edition'
(http://avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html)

Second:
Check to see if you have a stuck undeletable message in your Outbox or
Inbox. If yes, then read the top portion at this link and do the
section for the folder that you have the stuck message in to get rid of
it.
