I set up my Internet connection with my ISP provider exactly as I did on my
old laptop with XP Pro. Internet access works fine, I can send and receive
emails with Gmail and Yahoo, but with Windows Mail, nothing works. I can't
send or receive emails. I'm using the same ID and pasword with my email
address (...@Rogers.com) as I did on my old laptop.
I transferred all my emails from Outlook Express (in XP Pro) to Windows Mail
- I put them temporarily into another folder, not into Inbox, Outbox, etc.
When I start Windows Mail, it says that it is loading messages (several
hundred) but I cannot see any of them. When I put the cursor on the temporary
folder (or subfolders) containing my old emails, it says that there are no
messages.
Help, help, help - I need to get this to work.
Thanks.

You have two separate problems, so we'll only tackle one for now.
In order to find out why you can't send and receive, right-click on
the error messages, copy, then paste into a reply here.

Did you import the Outlook Express files into Windows Mail after making
sure the are read-write instead of readonly, instead of just copying them?

<http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/email/import-dbx-files-outlook-express-windows-mail-vista-86458.html>

<http://www.vista4beginners.com/Migrate-from-Outlook-Express-to-Windows-Mail>

For Gmail:

http://email.about.com/od/windowsmai..._get_gmail.htm

http://mail.google.com/support/bin/a...y?answer=13273

Note that you have to choose either the POP method or the IMAP
method - don't get them mixed up.

In the US, getting Yahoo to work with Windows Mail requires an
extra cost Yahoo account or the YPOPs program:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai...op/pop-35.html

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai...op/pop-08.html

http://ypopsemail.com/

For Rogers:

http://www.rogershelp.com/yahoo/mail/settings.html

When I hit "Receive All" or "Send & Receive All", amessage flashes by so fast
that I can't read it. After hitting a dozen times or more, I was able to
piece together the quick-flashing message. It says, "The selected tasks were
completed successfully", yet nothing happens, no messages appear. There is
definitely email out there somewhere waiting to get to me. I know because I
have sent test emails from gmail and friends have sent emails. I was normally
getting (on Outlook Express) 15 or more emails every day (newsletters,
messages, etc.) and nothing since I switched to Windows Mail. There must be
about 3 weeks' worth of emails waiting to be delivered to my ...@rogers.com
mailbox.

I composed a new message and hit "Send". I got a message saying, "The
message could not be sent.", "An error has occurred.", and an underlined blue
note that say's "Get help from communities." When I tried to "X out" from
this new message that I created, I got the standard, "Do you want to save
changes to this message?" I hit "Yes" and I got a message saying, "Cannot
save this message.".

As you can see, Windows Mail is totally useless for me right now. Do I have
to go back to my old computer to use Outlook Express in XP Pro? Is that my
only option?

None of the files that I imported were "read only". In fact, when I start
Windows Mail, a box appears that says, "Processing..." and I can see numbers
counting up as it loads all my old messages. There are at least 30 folders
and sub-folders, some with hundreds of messages. They are all in a separate
"main" folder. I didn't want to put them into inbox, sent, etc. until I can
get Windows Mail working. Thanks.

As for the sending error, check the contents of the Outbox folder
and delete what's there. If one or more messages won't delete,
let us know.

As for receiving, it sounds like interference from your antivirus.
Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee and Norton
security programs. Those will need to be uninstalled, NOT just disabled.
I suggest that you do a temporary uninstall of your antivirus.
You can always reinstall it if there is no improvement.

If there is improvement, download and install a more
compatible antivirus like:

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.

I've done this already and did it again. No effect.

Re your suggestion on Sending: When I look at Outbox folder, it says "No
items in this view"., as it says for every folder within Windows Mail.

Re your suggestion on Receiving: I have McAfee, which came with my computer,
along with Vista Home Premium, from Dell. Dell should have known about this
problem, if it is indeed a problem, and should not have offered McAfee with
Vista - but that's another issue. I will uninstall McAfee and see what
happens with Windows Mail. What is the big problem? It seems to me that
neither McAfee nor Norton took the time and effort to ensure that their
products work with Windows Mail. Or could it be a deliberate move by
Microsoft to subvert those two antivirus programs/companies? It does look
suspect. I will however try your suggestion. Thank you.

Let us know if there is improvement after uninstalling McAfee.
If the uninstall does not go well, there is a removal tool on their website:
