Just Stopped

Went to open my email and it just stopped. I get this error message:

"Windows Mail could not be started. The application was unable to open the
Windows Mail Message store. Your Windows mailbox data is currently being used
by another program such as a virus scanner. Close the program or wait for it
to complete its operation. (0x800c0155,2).

I have turned off my email scanner, restarted the computer and no luck. Any
ideas?

Re: Just Stopped

Some Anti Virus will not disable just like that. You need to do the following for
the scanning to be disabled

Uninstall your Anti Virus and then re-install without the email integration
(scanning)

Re: Just Stopped

Try compacting and repairing the database. See www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/

Also see point 3 here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
