After you uninstalled McAfee antivirus, did you follow up by using their
debris removal tool:

If you don't use that tool, McAfee leaves behind so much crud that it
still interferes with Windows Mail.
Also, since that mail account may have become corrupted, delete it,
restart Windows Mail, then recreate it.
As always, make sure email scanning in any antivirus is disabled,
for the reason explained here:
