Send/receive error

[aymless]

I can send and receive mail in windows mail if if go to the send/receive
button and individually tell the progran to eithe send mail or receive mail
but it gives an error if I click the "send/receive" button to try to send and
receive mail with one click. The error field is blank (shows no error code).
Any ideas?

That symptom is usually caused by interference from an antivirus
program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus should be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

Email scanning in any antivirus should be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

If no improvement after disabling email scanning, consider upgrading
to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to suffering bad effects
from overly intrusive antivirus programs:
