Chances are, you installed AVG antivirus using its default install option.
If so, uninstall it, then reinstall, but select 'custom' install, which then
allows you to unselect installing its troublesome email scanning module.
While AVG is uninstalled, try Windows Mail again, just to verify that
the culprit has been found.
If no improvement, I suggest you upgrade to Windows Live Mail:
