<<…(regeneration is) only temporary relief…>>

Right, that was expected. The MS recommended WinMail app Local Folder
regeneration process doesn’t get at the root cause (as you know) that is
hopefully still working at MS. At least it didn’t cause any other issues on
this machine of which I am aware.

BTW the stuck outbox header has happened to me again today after about 4
days of trouble free ops & right away Vista stopped sending on that account.
It took 7-10 days the first time so maybe it is converging – I hoped for more
or less a full week again. I have to revert to my old XP machine on the home
network to send e-mail while planning to regenerate again. (It is sweet to
go back to Outlook Express….). I shut off the e-mail accounts on this Vista
machine and turned them on for the XP machine. Now I need two computers to
run e-mail…<<sigh>>.

Also BTW I re-phoned MS today since the original Tech. said call back when
it happens again. The new Tech. is on the WinMail team & has worked WinMail
for 6 months. Told me he had not heard of the stuck outbox header & no
sending issue before. I told him all he has to do is check on “communities”
- where people could help with more clues about their OEM and software
environment. That is maybe a clue Ms Tech.s don’t read “communities” very
much. He did tell me “be sure to have WinUpdate on…”…ha.

I am not ready to uninstall McAfee as that may slow down clue generation. I
am going to assume the trouble is within Vista WinMail for now. McAfee is
still on full strength.

This is the only issue for me so far with Vista Ult. and I am otherwise
happy with it & the processor/FSB/memory being much faster.

So far as I can tell, I lost the first reply when I posted, this board is so
very KLUNKY (software term)…so I’ll stop in favor of the angry mob that may
be forming…and the possibility this will be a duplicate.
