[Guest]

I cannot get my mail to come through from by bigpond email account to Windows
Mail as it used to previously. the mail is sitting there in bigpond but will
not come through and this is the error message I get

This problem is often caused by interference from your
antivirus program. Windows Mail is not compatible with most
McAfee or Norton security programs. Those will need to be uninstalled.

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
