    Windows Mail not opening - freaking out

    I have been reading all these messages, and I am so confused!! My life is in
    WinMail and I can't get it to open. I am getting that crazy junk mail and
    msoe.dll that everyone is complaining about and I'm freaking out!! Dell told
    me that I would need to backup my whole computer and restore my computer to
    factory configuration. I would prefer not to do this, as I'm not sure how.
    Can anyone help me?

    Thanks!

    Don't restore your PC if the only thing wrong is your email program.
    The easiest fix is to upgrade to Windows Live Mail:
    http://download.live.com/wlmail
    It will automatically import all your Windows Mail stuff.

    Gary,

    Are you telling me that I can never use Window's Mail again? I have
    uploaded Windows Live Mail and I do not like it. Is there anything I can do
    to get WinMail back again?

    I have deleted out all anti-virus software, like you have previous said to
    others to help the issue. But it did not work on mine.

    Dell is telling me that they might be able to resolve the issue, but I would
    need to pay almost $200 for them to repair it. I think that is crazy since
    they are the ones that had Norton and McAfee on my computer when I bought it
    from them. Should I use them, or will they just do the Windows Live Mail too?

    Let me know your thoughts.

    To backup your messages see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx

    For your WinMail issues, try compacting and repairing the database. See
    www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/

    It sounds as if you have 3rd party software interference also. See point 3
    here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    As I said, Windows Live Mail will automatically import all your Windows Mail stuff.

    Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail (WLM) will run side-by-side, which is
    how I use them. If you don't like WLM, just uninstall it from the Control Panel,
    Programs and Features.
