windows mail

[Anna]

I have had windows vista since January 2008. I was having trouble with
windows mail. I could not send or receive any e-mails. I called my provider
verizon and he walked me through a couple of things. Well it was working
fine for a short while. Sometimes the e-mail works and I am able to receive
my messages but most of the time it does not work. This is the message I
receive : Acount: 'incoming.verizon.net', Server: 'incoming.verizon.net',
Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19 . I
have no problem sending e-mails it is just receiving them. I am at a loss.
Help

Over time, some antivirus programs tend to cause corruption
in Windows Mail. 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:
AVG free edition:

or
Avast free edition:
http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

With either of those, during the install phase you must select custom
install, and then deselect the email scanning option.
