RE: Unable to send or delete email

I am struggling with this as well. Have set up POP through my normal
Googlemail, but Windows Mail won't send or recieve, just says its
connnecting? Is this something I am doing, or not doing? Or is this a Vista
thing? My lap top is new as well...HELP!! Want to get POP working through
Windows Mail.

Me too. Even my cable company can't help me. I can receive emails but can't
send them. What's going on?

Your use of "as well" implies that, like the writer you quoted, you also
can't delete certain messages, but your problem statement doesn't
reflect that.

Assuming your primary problem is failure to connect with Gmail,
are you sure your settings are correct? Pay special attention to
the ports and SSL settings.

Found my solution.....on another area.....(or at least a fix for now until MS
comes out with one)

turn off scan emails in virus program
close windows email
Open Task Manager, Processed Tab: end process for WinMail.exe, End task

Go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, Windows Explorer, Computer, Local
Disc (C), Users, Your name (whatever you called your computer), AppData,
Local, Microsoft, Windows Mail

Copy entire Windows Mail Folder somewhere (disc, desktop etc - in case this
doesn't work for you and you need to recover it) Rename it Windows Mail 2 or
something.

Go back to original Windows Mail Folder (the one you copied from) and locate
the file named WindowsMail.MSMEssageStore........ delete this file. Then
go to backup file and find the same WndowsMail.MSMessageStore & delete

Close all windows & restart. Should be empty outbox, delete, etc.

You might have a file below Inbox, etc, that says Recovered Message with all
your old email in there.

If not, open your saved file and drag and drop the files you want to keep.

Hope this works for you
