Vista - WLM Error 0x80004005

10-04-2008

WLM only on 1 of my 4 computers started giving me the folllowing error
message about 2 days ago:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Yahoo account. An unknown error
has occurred.

Server: 'pop.att.yahoo.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x80004005
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): Yes

I use WLM to get my email from 3 accounts, Hotmail, AOL mail, and Yahoo
mail. It works as before with Hotmail, and AOL mail, but gives me the above
error message with Yaho mail. AT&T is my ISP. I have 3 other computers at
home. WLM works fine on the other computers and can download and send
messages from Yahoo from them.
Deleting all messages from Yahoo mail Inbox using Webmail did not help.
Deleting the Yahoo account, and re-creating it on WLM did not help, updating
to most recent version of WLM did not help, un-installing WLM, and then
re-installing it did not help. Scanning Registery, and disabling Norton
Antivirus did not help either.
I can send messages on my Yahoo account from this computer, but can not
download any. WLM works on my other computer as before perfectly.
Any idea what to do now?

Is your anti-virus set to scan e-mail?

As long as your anti-virus software is set to scan files as they are
opened, scanning e-mail as it downloads or sends is unnecessary and
prone to problems.

With some anti-virus (and anti-spam) programs, simply disabling the
e-mail scanning function doesn't really disable it. It simply tells the
program not to flag any messages. It still processes all the messages
and may still cause send/receive failures. What you may need to do is
uninstall the anti-virus program, then reinstall it using a custom
install option and unselect the e-mail scanning component for
installation.

Yahoo Plus account ?
Have you tried the suggestion to disable N360 scanning or temporarily disabling Autoprotect, open Windows Mail and retest ?
- " do not think the issue is related to my Anti-virus program (Norto 360)"
