Outlook Express is not sending my messages

[Guest]

My email doesn't appear to send the outgoing messages, so I get the error
message when I shut down - you have unsent messages, do you want to send them
now? - But they don't go.

Sometimes, my whole email programme shuts down stating an unexpected error
occurred. But again nothing gets sent.

I am using Windows Vista - is there any fix?

If you are running Vista you don't have Outlook Express.

Make sure you are not using incompatible third party security
software. Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee
or Norton security programs. Those will need to be
uninstalled, not just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see
