| | problems opening vista windows mail I keep getting this message when I try to open my email: An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'mail.scottsboro.org', Server: 'mail.scottsboro.org', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x80004005. I can check my email through my internet provider website, but not in windows mail and also my husband can open his mail under his screen name with windows mail. Any help would be great seeing that I am not a computer whiz. -- mlt |

| | Re: problems opening vista windows mail In your browser go to the webmail website and log in. Then clean out all the folders in your webmail. If you want to save any messages, create a new folder and move those messages to the new folder. Empty the spam and thrash folders also. Close webmail, then try Windows Mail again. If no improvement, which antivirus are you running? -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "mlthompson" <mlthompson@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:197D8197-FAF6-4B23-95CE-C1E400D66673@xxxxxx Quote: >I keep getting this message when I try to open my email: An unknown error has > occurred.

| | Re: problems opening vista windows mail Chances are, you installed AVG antivirus using its default install option. If so, uninstall it, then reinstall, but select 'custom' install, which then allows you to unselect installing its troublesome email scanning module. While AVG is uninstalled, try Windows Mail again, just to verify that the culprit has been found. If no improvement, I suggest you upgrade to Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "mlthompson" <mlthompson@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:FDB511BD-A412-4BD5-A996-92F246BE2BF0@xxxxxx Quote: >I deleted all the messages at my webmail website and that hasn't worked. > There are still messages in my windows mail inbox that I cant get to, so I > can't delete those.
