Windows Vista mail problem

[David Greenham]

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone can help with vista e-mail - Home premium edition
32-bit...... when I send an e-mail it goes directly into my outbox without
being sent. I click on Send/Receive but nothing happens. If I then close
down windows mail, as I re-open it the mail then gets sent as normal. I have
no problem receiving messages.

I have downloaded the 32-bit version update and tried the 64-bit version
(says not applicable to my system) but this has made no difference. I am
using PC Tools firewall plus and avast anti-virus protection.

Any ideas as to the fix? Many thanks,

Dave

See if this helps: In Windows Mail, click on Tools, then Options, then
Send. If there's no check mark in the box before Send messages
immediately, click on this box, then Apply. Click on OK.

I have the same problem. I have the Send Messages Immediately box ticked but
it still doesn't sent till I re-open Windows Mail. I also have no problem
receiving messages.

Which antivirus are you running?

Hi,

Still no joy unfortunately! Thanks for the advice though.

When you installed Avast, during the install phase did you select
custom install, which then allows you to deselect the email scanning
module.

I suggest you uninstall Avast, reboot, try Windows Mail again, and
then reinstall Avast as described above.
