Hi, I have had the same problem, only for the last 2 days. I have not
changed any settings and have verified all my account details are correct.
If you look at the postings over the last couple of days it seems others are
having the same problem. I think it must be a fault with windows mail and I
hope they can find a solution quickly. Regards Net

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.

Hi, I tried turning off email scanning on my anti-virus program - it made no
difference - but I seem to have resolved the problem by removing my email
account and then setting it up again with exactly the same details. Hope
this helps.
Regards, Net

Who pays the bill for that mail service? If you, their customer service
should be willing to help you.
