Window Mail Issues

I fixed it by redownloading the fix that was for when emails get stuck in the
outbox...not sure why that worked but it did.
I did not have to delete my antivirus program or do what Gateway suggested
and do a full system restore.
Thank you for making me realize that precervirance and determination is my
finer quality. My last resort woulod of been what you all suggested & Gateway
but I was not about to lose all my software that I had to repurchase on 6
months ago.

Windows Mail is part of Vista, and very hard to uninstall or reinstall
without doing the same to the rest of Vista.

You will certainly have the problem again as long as any anti-virus is
scanning email and probably as long as McAfee has not been totally removed
from the system.

Do not reply with email

That fix is only temporary. As long as you insist on using a non-
compatible antivirus, the corruption problem will keep recurring.
