Windows Mail just stops working

Every once in a while when I try and send an email the message is lost and
Windows Mal stops working and then restarts. Now I have to save all my
messages in Microsoft Word before I send any email on Windows Mail in case
this happens! Does anyone know why this happens?

RE: Windows Mail just stops working

Gary, I don't want to use Live Mail! I like having my mailboxes
consolidated. Can you help me fix the issue?

Re: Windows Mail just stops working

Sounds like your Windows Mail is corrupted.
The easiest fix for that is to upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

Outlook also uses a consolidated inbox. If you don't like Live Mail, you
might consider Outlook, though this *is not by any means free*.

Alternately, you might consider having a look at other available mail
clients if you can't get WM fixed reliably.

Disable any antivirus software. See point 3 here:

You might also try repairing the database: www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/
