Vista - Here's An Odd One

I have run into this very same problem yesterday except my email is stuck in
my Inbox box. Since it seems everybody under the sun has this problem, I
will ignore it, hoping it will go away on it's own.

I am having this same problem mail stuck in the outbox. I have tried all the
suggestions and nothing is working for me. I have to send email via my
servers web site. What a pain has anyone heard if MS is going to patch this
problem?

Really hate to add a new variation, but I just got one of these messages in
my INBOX.

I have the same problems with WinMail... sometimes all folders are empity and
e-mail gets stuck in outbox, sometimes mail cannot be transfered bethween
folders with the message" The selected messages could not be moved. An error
occurred "
Sometimes rebooting the system solves the problem, but only temporarily. I
just bought this new PC with Vista, and cannot believe that MS does not have
a fix yet!!!! Reinstalling the system will not solve the problem !!!

If you've been reading the posts here you should know by now
that the first step to solving this problem is to disable the
email scanning option in your antivirus program.
