Which antivirus program? Some of them need more than just an uninstall
to stop the problems they cause in Windows Mail.
Also, have you asked them which of the over 65,000 ports available will
accept outgoing mail on their outgoing mail server, and what if any other
changes using these ports requires? Not all email providers are alike on
this.
Also, check if your list of installed programs includes Google Toolbar
Google Desktop, or SMS Desktop. If it includes any of these, uninstall
them. Web sites that let you do a Google search are not a problem.
Have you applied this hotfix, with Windows Mail not running?

If so, have you checked the Outbox for messages you need to delete?
