This problem may be caused by your antivirus program.
Windows Mail is not compatible with most versions of Norton
and McAfee antivirus programs. Those must be uninstalled, not
just disabled. After uninstalling the antivirus, try Windows Mail again.
Then, download and install a more compatible antivirus such as:
AVG free edition:
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/0?prd=aff
or
Avast free edition:
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html
With either of those, during the install phase you must select custom
install, and then deselect the email scanning option.
