Nothing changed, just suddenly stopped saving anything. Please help. Is there a way to uninstall Win Mail and reinstall? This program is a constant screw-up. |

Windows Mail is part of Vista, and very hard to uninstall or reinstall without doing the same to the rest of Vista. If you get any errors when trying to send mail, could you show us the entire error messages? Also, what if any antivirus programs do you have? |

| | Re: Mail not in Sent folder or draft folder Assorted problems in Windows Mail are often caused by running a non-compatible antivirus such as McAfee or Norton. Instead of spending a lot of time on fixing Windows Mail problems, you'd be better off switching to the new and improved Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "micheleisfree" <micheleisfree@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:36B4B133-66D7-46FF-9D54-CC7F53000D59@xxxxxx Quote: > Suddenly, WinMail won't save an e-mail in the Sent folder nor save in the > Draft folder.

| | RE: Mail not in Sent folder or draft folder Thanks so much for everyone's time. Fixing one crappy Microsoft program with another crappy Microsoft program sure doesn't sound like a fix to me. It's more like compounding the monster. Looks like the only fix to Microsoft's MONUMENTAL trash is a Mac. I have a Mac in my future.

| | Re: Mail not in Sent folder or draft folder Suit yourself.
