| | Re: I have to restart twice a day in Windows Mail This problem may be caused by an incompatible antivirus. Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee and Norton security programs. Those will need to be uninstalled, not just disabled. After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their email scanning option turned off.

| | Re: I have to restart twice a day in Windows Mail I have installed Trend Micro anti virus, anti spyware 2008. I have disabled the email scanning feature. I am still having problems with extended delays in replying,forwarding etc and will still have to restart at least once to get it to work at all. Now what? Thanks !

| | Re: I have to restart twice a day in Windows Mail Some of the more recent Trend antivirus programs also cause problems in Windows Mail. Click on Tools, then Accounts, then your email account, then Properties. If there is no check mark in the box before Include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing, click on this box and then Apply. Click on OKand then Close. Click on Tools, then Options, then Send. If there is no check in the box before Send messages immediately, click on this box and then Apply. Click on OK.

| | Re: I have to restart twice a day in Windows Mail To narrow down the culprit, uninstall your third party security software. Reboot, then try Windows Mail again. -- Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM] "DREW" <DREW@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E13E0DFB-750D-4333-8189-58AD0C36E08A@xxxxxx Quote: >I have installed Trend Micro anti virus, anti spyware 2008.
