What if any antivirus programs do you have? Some of them cause
assorted problems in Windows Mail, although seldom immediately.

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.

Most antivirus programs from Norton or McAfee, and a recent one from
Trend, tend to cause assorted problems in Windows Mail, although seldom
that fast. Uninstalling the Norton program, not just disabling it or part
of
it, is needed to stop it from creating new problems. Then you should run
this cleanup program:

You may even have to remove your email account under Windows Mail,
then create it again, to finish the cleanup.

If this fixes your problem, you should install a replacement antivirus
program.
I recommend either avast! or AVG, either one with a custom install that
tells
it to leave out the part that scans email.
