mcafee security is that i a problem??

McAfee is likely the problem. You need to disable email scanning and then
remove your mail account, close WinMail and reopen it and then add your mail
account back again. That should fix it.

See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 you don't need email scanning and it
messes stuff up.

And did you try to close the email scanning for AVG and then follow the advice that Steve has posted for you.

Your message says you have McAfee at the bottom. At any rate, if you have
AVG, you need to uninstall it and then reinstall it with the email scanning
option disabled. If you have McAfee also, then uninstall it completely as
it is causing big problems for everyone who has it installed.

Hi there, I was having the same problem could receive but couldn't send emails
I tried a number of suggestions, but found that if I opened Mcafee and
unchecked the scan outgoing email option only it fixed the problem and I am
now able to send emails, it still scans incoming emails etc. and am still
protected, except for scanning outgoing so seems to have worked
this was driving me crazy for over a week, but all seems well
thought I'd pass it along......
