Windows mail no longer displaying anything

I suddenly cannot get mail and get the following error messages:
An unknown error has occurred. Protocol: SMTP, Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No,
Error Number: 0x800C0148.
and
An unknown error has occurred. Protocol: POP3, Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No,
Error Number: 0x800C0148

The use of port 0 usually indicates you have interference from an antivirus
program. Also, the server names are missing from your error messages,
so we can't tell if the server names were set wrong.

What if any antivirus programs do you have? What servers are you
using for your email account? Who is your email provider (probably
the same as your internet provider?

Re: Windows mail no longer displaying anything

OK so now I am really puzzled. I have uninstalled Norton AV, disabled the
windows firewall, checked the port settings for POP3 and SMTP and they are
correct, rang my pc providers helpline and they were next to useless and I
still cannot get any emails.
I still get the following messages:
An unknown error has occurred. Protocol: SMTP, Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No,
Error Number: 0x800C0148
and
An unknown error has occurred. Protocol: POP3, Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No,
Error Number: 0x800C0148
and I have nothing displayed in my Inbox.

Email is still working fine on my old pc with the same settings but in
Outlook.
Any other ideas.

Re: Windows mail no longer displaying anything

The use of port 0 without an antivirus program that intercepts it seldom
works.

Although, perhaps you are getting an error before it looks up the port
number, so it can't show the right port number. It doesn't seem to have
looked up the server names correctly, either.

You may need to delete your email account under Windows Mail
and then create it again to get rid of the lingering effects of your old
antivirus program.

Re: Windows mail no longer displaying anything

As Robert already advised you, you need to delete the account that was
corrupted by NAV, restart WM, then recreate the account.

Re: Windows mail no longer displaying anything

I think I may have cracked this problem for those who use McAfee. Like many
others I have been seeing the error message(s) and having trouble downloading
mail, but no solution I could find on the net seemed to work. By trial and
error I have discovered the following solution:

1. Use MSCongig to turn off McAfee Spam Killer in startup
2. Restart
3. Check in Task Manager that MSMail is not running. If it is end the
process.
4. Run WMUtil (http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/Default.aspx) and run the repair
database.
5. Restart

All should now be fine. My PC is.

Gool luck everyone.

Re: Windows mail no longer displaying anything

This may provide short term relief, but does not cure the underlying cause.
