| | windows mail opens without any of my messages or folders Occassionally when i open windows mail all my folders and all my emails are gone and none of my email accounts are operating. all my contacts are still there. The only way i have been able to get all my folders and messages back is to restore my computer from early check point in McAfee. Can any anyone advise why this is happening and how i can prevent it happenin in the future? |

| | Re: windows mail opens without any of my messages or folders Windows Mail often behaves erratically when interfered with by some antivirus programs. 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.
