WinMail.exe

When I close Windows Mail and try to re-open it, I get an error message that
my Windows Mail is already running. I then have to go onto task manager and
end WinMail.exe which is for unknown reason still runnin, then I can start
Windows Mail. This problem only happens after my system wakes up from sleep.

Something to try...

Control Panel|POWER OPTIONS
For the plan being used (likely "balanced"), click on the "Change plan
settings" link

Click on the "Change advanced power settings" link

Expand the SLEEP branch by clicking on the + sign to its left
Expand the ALLOW HYBRID SLEEP branch by clicking on the + sign

Change the HYBRID SLEEP setting to OFF --- and see if this helps. If
not, simply restore the ON setting.

Thanks for the reply,
but I don't have HYBRID SLEEP as an option, when I click the + at sleep, I
get SLEEP AFTER then when I click the + on that one it give me a time to
change, no other options after that.

Yes, that can be the case.
NOT using SLEEP mode, but instead allowing monitor and hard drive to
shut down at an interval of your choosing may be an alternative, though
not as energy efficient. Worth a test, to see if it affects the problem.

Turn off email scanning of your antivirus software. See
www.oehlep.com/OETips.aspx#3 See if that helps.
