Windows mail toolbar

[Guest]

My standard toolbar keeps disappearing when I'm reading and sending messages.
It has always been ther, but now it is gone every time I open Mail. Is it
me or is anyone having this problem?

Make sure you are not using incompatible third party security
software. Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee
and Norton security programs. Those will need to be
uninstalled, not just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see

Thanks you for responding -- I viewed the oehelp post and .just disabled my
email scanning and the toolbars were there when I rebooted -- I am not
literate enough to reset my email so I will just go back and enable it. If
the toolbar doesn't continue to show I will just have to deal with the
inconvenience, but am thankful to know what the cause is. Thanks again.

Just be aware that the degree to which your incompatible antivirus
interferes with the proper working of Windows Mail will get worse
over time.

Thank you, Gary -- right now it is working, that is the toolbar is there --
if other issues occur, I will definitely change the antivirus. This site and
folks like you who share their knowledge is so helpful, I can't tell you how
grateful I am for your response.

Possibly because that's one of many bugs in Windows Mail. :-(
There will be no updates or bug fixes forthcoming for Windows Mail.
You can upgrade to Windows Live Mail which doesn't even have a
Views Bar:

Go to View | Layout and uncheck them. Then they should go away. If not,
then you have a 3rd party program that is blocking saving those changes in
the registry, as that is where they are stored.
