I use only the Windows Firewall itself, and do my virus scanning on an

And, by the way, the newsgroups sittings you mentioned? Already set as
indicated.
Sorry mr. Greenberg, I have to fold. I have tested these settings on two
different Vista machines now, and they both work. Unless you have created
some kind of policy that blocks Windows Mail in Windows Firewall (and I do
not think you have), I can not see why it does not work.
Feel free to top post a reply in this newsgroup, and post your question in
microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail for greater exposure. Somebody else may
have a solution. For now, you must go with Thunderbird. It is a great email
client btw.
