| | Windows Mail closing The problem I am having with Windows mail is that when i open it to check mail it starts to check the accounts, then it says "windows has encoutered a problem" "checking for a solution" then the dreaded "there is no fix, im going to close" If I am persistant and keep reopening the program it will eventually check all the emails, but then will prompt an error in 10 min and ask me to close the program. Is there some problem that no fix has been released for this? help I just want my mail to work! |

| | Re: Windows Mail closing Microsoft has released a replacement program for Windows Mail. All indications are that no further fixes for Windows Mail will be forthcoming.

| | Re: Windows Mail closing Thank you Gary, I did download the Windows Live Mail - and it all went fine until I left it open for ten minutes and it did the same thing Windows mail did "Windows mail has encountered a problem" "Checking for a solution" "Windows mail has stopped working" "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." of course there is the button to close the program  So I am left wondering "if" there has been a solution or is this new computer defunct? please help me Susan "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: Quote: > Microsoft has released a replacement program for Windows Mail. > All indications are that no further fixes for Windows Mail will be forthcoming. > I recommend you upgrade to the newer Windows Live Mail: > http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview > > -- > Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) > > > "DocSuess" <DocSuess@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:813F7275-7C5B-4ECB-BF23-703B080D7303@xxxxxx Quote: > > The problem I am having with Windows mail is that when i open it to check > > mail it starts to check the accounts, then it says "windows has encoutered a > > problem" "checking for a solution" then the dreaded "there is no fix, im > > going to close" > > If I am persistant and keep reopening the program it will eventually check > > all the emails, but then will prompt an error in 10 min and ask me to close > > the program. > > Is there some problem that no fix has been released for this? > > help I just want my mail to work! > > |

| | Re: Windows Mail closing Sorry to hear that the problem still exists. You need to take a close look at the other programs that were running at the time, especially third party security products. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "DocSuess" <DocSuess@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E856CF23-01B7-4033-8D2C-0A3810DCE1E0@xxxxxx Quote: > Thank you Gary, I did download the Windows Live Mail - and it all went fine > until I left it open for ten minutes and it did the same thing Windows mail > did > "Windows mail has encountered a problem" > "Checking for a solution" > "Windows mail has stopped working" > "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, Windows will close > the program and notify you if a solution is available." > of course there is the button to close the program > So I am left wondering "if" there has been a solution or is this new > computer defunct? please help me > Susan > > "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: > Quote: >> Microsoft has released a replacement program for Windows Mail. >> All indications are that no further fixes for Windows Mail will be forthcoming. >> I recommend you upgrade to the newer Windows Live Mail: >> http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview >> >> -- >> Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) >> >> >> "DocSuess" <DocSuess@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:813F7275-7C5B-4ECB-BF23-703B080D7303@xxxxxx Quote: >> > The problem I am having with Windows mail is that when i open it to check >> > mail it starts to check the accounts, then it says "windows has encoutered a >> > problem" "checking for a solution" then the dreaded "there is no fix, im >> > going to close" >> > If I am persistant and keep reopening the program it will eventually check >> > all the emails, but then will prompt an error in 10 min and ask me to close >> > the program. >> > Is there some problem that no fix has been released for this? >> > help I just want my mail to work! >> >> |
