My Windows Mail started playing up on me yesterday. It was working fine
before hand, but since starting up my laptop yesterday it's been a bugger.
There's seems to be several things wrong - I hope someone here can help me:
1. I can't receive any e-mails. When I am trying to receive an e-mail I get
this error message:
"An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'mail.thereddwarfzone.co.uk',
Server: 'mail.thereddwarfzone.co.uk', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Error Number: 0x80004005"
My account details are correct and have not been changed since they were
working yesterday.
2. My 'Inbox' says there are 6 new messages, however when I click to view my
'Inbox' I am told:
"There are no items in this view."
3. There is one message in my 'Deleted Items' folder. If I click to view
this message it says:
"Message could not be displayed
Windows Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this
message. "Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again.
My laptop isn't low on memory or disk space. I am also unable to delete this
message. If I try to delete it, either by clicking on it and pressing Delete
or by emptying my 'Deleted Items' folder, I am presented with the following
error message:
"An unknown error has occurred."
4. My 'Junk E-mail' folder has 5 new messages, however on clicking the
folder I am again told "There are no items in this view." On trying to empty
my 'Junk E-mail' folder I am again presented with a "An unknown error has
occurred." message, and on clicking "OK" another message appears:
"Some of the items in the 'Junk E-mail' folder could not be deleted.
An error has occurred."
I am using Windows Mail version 6 on Windows Vista. Any help would be much
appreciated. |

A likely cause for this error message is your antivirus.
Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee or Norton
security programs. Those will need to be uninstalled.
Replace with a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Thanks for your help but I have been using Norton Internet Security on my
laptop since April and have not experienced this problem on my e-mail before.
So I do not think that is the problem.
Another thing I forgot to mention - My laptop didn't shutdown properly. My
laptop turned off because the battery had died on it, and I didn't turn it on
again until the next day and thats when I started having problems with my
e-mail, so maybe it had something to do with not being shutdown properly??
Thanks,
Dan.

I have just had a problem with an error message in my outbox, couldn't delete
it and nothing else would send after that, just stayed in my outbox. Found
this link suggested by someone else and it works:
ttp://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_betas
Seems to be a better version of Windows Mail called Windows Live Mail. It
automatically trys to import everything. If it doesn't import everything, you
can at least do it manually as it shows everything from the old Windows Mail.
Hope this helps.

Since you seem to know more than the experts here, why bother
asking questions here?

Don't listen to that so called "expert". It's not your antivirus. It's
actually a microsoft problem that they don't know how to fix. It happened to
me and I was given a website to download a fix for it and it took the email
that was stuck right out. I have to look for the site though. I'll write
back when I find it.

Your diagnosis is incorrect. Pendo86 does not have an email
stuck in the Outbox.

Norton issues can crop up at any time. After 6 or 8 months and even after 1 year.Your issue is caused by Norton. Believe me. Follow the advice that is given and it should solve your issue.
Remove Norton using their on line tool available at the Symantec site. Install Avast free which will do as well in performance and finding virus as did Norton.

I do not have norton on my computer, and I am running into similar problems. One minute my email was working, and the next it dosen't and my ISP can't figure it out since all the settings are correct. It must be windows mail not norton. |

Has anyone managed to solve this problem? I live a torturous existence being subjected to this bothersome habit of Windows Mail which gives me this message whenever it fancies. It has nothing to do with Norton or McFe antivirus because I use AVG and have no mail scanning turned onn either. There is a temporary albeit extremely irritating solution of having to restart the computer whenever the message begins to appear. However with time, especially if you begin to open various folders in Windows Mail, the problem pops up again. Help someone? |

The WLM was great! I've been using it for the past few months without any problem. Disaster strike, I am now having the same problem like everybody here. I do not think is the third party sotware like Norton. |
