I have multiple email accounts setup and they have all been working fine. All
of a sudden I am having problems with one of them not working all the time. I
get it working and then if I close Windows Mail and re-open it is broken
again.

I have tested this to make sure it was not the account with my ISP and it is
not the account. Has anybody experienced anything like this?

It might be a security program interfering with the Registry changes
involved. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are:
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
Kaspersky
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.

In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be
uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you
reinstall Zone Alarm.

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try the change.

Uninstall it. Replace it with AVG or Avast, both of which are free for Home
Users. Use NOD32 for business.. In any case do a custom install and don't
install email protection.
