First I must state that I am not in anyway anti MS, and have been using Vista
for over 12mth, with a few minor problems, if read thru these MS groups you
will see that Windows Mail does appear to have a lot of problems.
A replacement for Windows Mail called Windows Live Mail is available, which
may be worth trying, it appears to operate better that WM.
Another alternative is Firefox browser and Thunderbird mail reader, both of
which I have used for several years, both with XP and now Vista.
What firewall are you running?
Doe McAfee indicate why you cannot disable E-Mail Scanner?
