Did you run this cleanup program to take care of what the
uninstall left behind?

Also, you may need to remove your email account under Windows
Mail, then restart Windows Mail and add the account again.

There's a program with SMS in its name for which that's a good
idea. I don't remember its name either.

Also, you may want to check if you have the Google Toolbar
program installed, and if you do, uninstall it too.

There are some email servers which object to the order in which
Windows Mail does a combined send and receive. If you're
using one of them, you may have to do the send and receive
separately by clicking on the triangle to the right of Send/Receive,
then either Receive All or Send All, and waiting a few seconds
after this finishes before you do the other.
