Windows mail lose account settings

Gary, I have done exactly that. I have changed to WLM for the time being,
BUT believe it or not, I actually prefer WM. I simply have to find the
answer. I have disabled my anti-virus as most of the advice points to a
anti-virus issue, but at this stage, I am 99% sure that it is not the
problem.

The account may have become corrupt in some way?

Try removing the account altogether, writing down all the settings, server
info etc first.
Close WM.
Then add your account back.

HTH?

The only way you can truly eliminate your antivirus as the
source of the problem is to uninstall it. Presumably you can
always reinstall it. Merely disabling it is often not sufficient.
