| | Re: Lost my personal folders Please quote the post you are responding to, so we can have continuity. I realize some people think this is like IM, but it is Usenet. Which antivirus are you running? Some of them are not compatible with Windows Mail. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "modiam" <modiam.3634l3@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net> wrote in message news:modiam.3634l3@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net...

| | Re: Lost my personal folders Most of the Norton antivirus programs from Symantec tend to cause assorted problems in Windows Mail, although seldom immediately. It isn't clear if Symantec copied the problem causing sections of the Norton programs into antivirus programs with a different brand name. If they did, just disabling the program is not enough; you have to uninstall it instead. You then often need to run this cleanup program to handle what the uninstall left behind: <http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039> You may even need to remove your email account under Windows Mail, then restart Windows Mail and create the account again. If this cures your problem, you may want a replacement antivirus program that doesn't cause such problems. I recommend either avast! or AVG, either one with a custom install that tells it to leave out the part that scans email. http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/0?prd=aff "modiam" <modiam.364qx2@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net> wrote in message news:modiam.364qx2@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net...
