This type of problem is usually caused by running an incompatible
antivirus program. Windows Mail is not compatible with most
McAfee, Norton and Trend Micro security programs. Those
programs tend to corrupt Windows Mail over time, and will need
to be uninstalled, NOT just disabled.
After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, try Windows
Mail again. If no improvement, delete your mail account, restart
Windows Mail, then recreate that account.
At your convenience, 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.
