When I type a message using the Reply function and click Send, the
email is greyed out, then disappears. It doesn't surface in any of the
local folders.
Using Create Mail works as normal Any ideas?
 
Which antivirus are you running?
Some of them cause problems for Windows Mail after a period of time.

Check in Tools>accounts, that you have an account set as the 'default'.
 
Which firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware or security suite is installed?
There are some that cause problems which don't always appear immediately.

I'm using Avast, Windows Defender, Spybot, and ZoneAlarm. Today the
reply function is working anyway!

If you have Avast email scanning enabled, disable it and see if that solves
your problem. If it doesn't, keep it disabled anyway because AV email
scanning is redundant and often creates conflicts. Your system will remain
protected. Best practice is to uninstall Avast and then reinstall without
the email scanning option.

Thanks, that seems to make sense. I'll try that, and report back IF
the problem resurfaces. The reply function is still working at the
time of writing.
