Vista - Unable to create new folders & save mail message rules

08-16-2008

Windows Mail will not allow me to create any new folders and message rules.

Although it looks as if I have created folders and rules within Windows
Mail, when the computer is restarted or shutdown and brought back up again,
the new folder and any mail or rules pertaining to it have not been saved.

I have many other rules and folders which are fine.

Either your antivirus program or one of your other security programs
may be blocking writes to the registry. Changes can't be saved if
they can't be written to the registry.
Some of the security programs known to do this are:

Ad-Aware Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
Kaspersky
McAfee VirusScan or Antispyware
Norton AntiVirus
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5, reported to be fixed in later versions.

Looks like some program that you have installed, is protecting the Registry
from changes?

What did you install recently?
