Vista - Windows Mail Problem

Hi.

I have the problem in Vista Ultimate Windows Mail that after opening the
program and after all messages have been received I can't use the
"Send/Receive" button.
It wont send or receive messages again but when I click the dropdown menu
and choose "Send All" or "Receive All" it will work, also if I set the
program to send and receive message every 5 minutes it will work
automatically.
It's only the "Send/Receive" button which wont.
There is no error message as well.
Please someone give me a hand here to get this fixed.

Thanks in advance,
Tommy

You're not alone...
See my posting in microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail from
26. march... But I have no solution. Had a Business version installed,
and the mailprogram worked in that version. Strange...

........thanks for your reply,
It was working before but then out of the blue the "Send/Receive" stopped
working.
Strange is that if I configure Windows Mail so it wont automatically receive
messages on startup and if I click on it myself it's working but only the 1st
time after the messages been received and I click again it wont work.
If you find a solution to that please post it in here, I'll do the
same.......thanks again.......Tommy.......

........I solved the problem by changing the default connection which was in
my case a Dialup Connection because I did set up my laptop to connect via
Bluetooth to the internet when I'm on the road and I canged it to Local Area
Connection and that's it.
I made the changes in Internet Options and did change each e-mail account
from dialup to LAN.
Hopefully that will help in your case as well.
Let me know if it did.......Best regards.......Tommy.......

Hello Tommy,

Mine is exactly the same as yours, annoying, especially when your waiting
for an e mail to arrive.

I have been fighting this for awhile. My symptoms are. the Outbox messages
are stuck there. They stuck for several days, them mysteriously got sent.
Then it worked fine for a week. One incoming email somehow landed in the
Outbox, and I cannot delete it. I could delete all the others. So it looks
like that one I cannot delete is holding the Outbox hostage. I tried several
fixes posted, to no avail. Any ideas?

So, the messages are just copied from one folder to the corresponding folder
under Local Folders, with Windows Mail closed, right? I'm pretty sure that's
the case, but being partway through the restore, this is also a test to see
if my newsgroup will post okay from WM (I've had to use Thunderbird for the
previous posts).

No, that wasn't the proplem. However, another person I think that works for
Microsoft, or has very good talents, issued a fix for WM, and I've been back
in business for quite awhile.
