Can receive,create and send new mail, but cannot reply or forward messages.
Get server timeout message even tho' set to Max 5 minutes
 
Right-click on the error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without that complete error message.

Which antivirus are you running? Some of them are not very compatible
with Windows Mail.
 
Gary--thanks for replying. I tried one of your other answers--disabling
Email virus scanning by SpySweeper, and it appears to have taken care of the
problem. Thanks again
 
You're very welcome. Thanks for reporting back.
Email scanning by any security program can cause that problem.

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,Trend 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.
