Windows Mail is very hard to uninstall or reinstall without taking the
rest of Vista with it. However, it often helps to delete the email
account under Windows Mail and then create it again.
This fix was intended for something else, but sometimes helps:

If you don't know whether to use the 32-bit version or the 64-bit
version, try the 32-bit version first. Certain common antivirus
programs, such as most of those from Norton or McAfee, or
a recent one from Trend, cause various problems in Windows
Mail, although seldom immediately, so if you have such a program,
remember where to find the fix - you are likely to need it again.
