Never had a problem with Windows Mail unitl today. Been receiving and
sending e.mails everyday since I set it up back in June of last year. Now I
get "An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'mail.bellsouth.net', Server:
'mail.bellsouth.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error
Number: 0x80004005" message. Can't delete or receive e.mails.

Help please

Which antivirus are you running? Some of them are not compatible
with Windows Mail, and over time, the account information gets corrupted.

You may need to log in using webmail (click on E-mail on your AT&T
home page) and delete the oldest message waiting to be downloaded.

Norton Internet Security 2007. Please Help. Thanks

That's what I figured.
Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee and Norton
antivirus programs. As a test, uninstall your Norton program, then
reboot, and test Windows Mail again. If there is improvement,
download and install a more compatible antivirus like:
AVG free edition:
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/0?prd=aff
or
Avast free edition:
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

With either of those, during the install phase you must select custom
install, and then deselect the email scanning option.

Thanks man. I tried it. Logged into my web mail and deleted the messages
that were there. I went back to Windows Mail and it sorta let me erase some
e.mails but it's still not working and it's still giving the same message.
Help!
