Uninstall McAfee. Download and install the free AVG antivirus:

Be sure to select the option NOT to install the email scanning module

I have unistalled McAfee, installed AVG, turned off its email scanner. Still
can receive, cannot send.

It's possible that the email account was corrupted by the antivirus
scanner. Create a new email account with the same settings as
the original, then delete the original account. Close WinMail, open
it, and try sending. If it still doesn't send, is there an error message?
If so, copy the error message and post it here.
