Over time, some antivirus programs tend to cause corruption
in Windows Mail. Windows Mail is not compatible with most
McAfee and Norton security programs. Those will need to be
uninstalled, NOT just disabled.
After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like:
AVG free edition:

or
Avast free edition:

With either of those, during the install phase you must select custom
install, and then deselect the email scanning option.
