Vista - Headers display but cannot read any messages in Live Mail

12-04-2008

I have an MSN account that was working fine up to about a day or two ago. Now
when I go in Windows Live Mail, I can see all the headers, and retrieve new
mail, but none of the messages display.

If I open a message, the header displays normally, but the message pane is
blank, and there is a mouse pointer with the little hourglass showing, as
though there is something happening, but the message never displays.

Within the message read window, if I choose 'File', 'Properties' then choose
the 'Details' tab and click the 'Message Source' button, I can see that the
message is intact, though not formatted for easy reading.

So the messages are there somewhere, just not displaying.

I really need this to work properly, and several other people are using this
as well and depend on me to fix this problem.

Thank you,

Joe Gorman

Except for this last symptom a possible explanation would be
security settings which might prevent rendering of an HTML
E-mail which did not have a plain-text equivalent.

Nevertheless you can try getting your browser to render it.
E.g. in WLMail, use its Actions, Forward as attachment
command (e.g. Alt-A,d) and drag the resulting attachment
from the dummy E-mail composition window to an open
browser window.

Good luck

James,
Fyi..Windows Mail only handles Pop3 legacy or Hotmail Plus msn accounts when usign the Pop3/SMtp protocol. It does not support http
only capable accounts using the WebDAV or DeltaSync protocols
