Windows Mail

[Guest]

Hello,

I recently purchased a new PC w/Vista Business. My past experiences have
been w/outlook express.

I'm struggling with the new Windows Mail program.

First, I have started accumulating incoming mail that I'm unable to delete.
Windows mail says 'Message cannot be displayed' and there is no ability for
me to delete the messages.

Secondly, the Windows Mail program often just closes by itself, without any
action from me.

I have read the notations that Anti Virus should be turned off for mail
scans, and I've done that with my AVG Anti Virus program.

Any ideas? Goodness, I miss Outlook Express.

You also need to tell AVG not to scan EML files.
