send/receive error

I just switched to Windows Mail from Thunderbird...the only problem is an
error message applet that appears every time I hit Send/receive to check
for new messages, however, it lists no details or specific errors..that part
is blank. If I exit WM and come back in, only then will my new messages
appear...any thoughts? Thanks!

Running any antivirus or antispam program and have either of those set to
scan email? If so, disable those options and try again.

I'm having the exact same problem Mary. Let me know if you find a solution
and I'll do the same. I may be going back to Thunderbird.

I posted the same problem about a week or so ago. no response yet. i
guarentee you though that it is not a antivirus issue. Weird. A slight
workaround, however, is just send all and recieve all seperately. I went to
thunderbird cuz of windows mail is crap.

I had the same problem and found a fix.
Go to tools->accounts. Look in your news and directory services. In mine
there were duplicates of a couple things. I delete the duplicates and the
"send/receive all" worked immediately.

At last! I deleted the News entries and all of a sudden Send/Receive works. Cheers!
