Can not re-open windows mail email in the inbox

I tried the recommended solution cocerning view all messages. It was already
set to this option.

I read on several bolgs that the problem is due to incompatible antivirus
programs

! Is this true? I use trendmicro only because it came on the new laptopn and
2) is their a utility that I can run to "uncorrupt" the mail database much
like outlook has in pstscan?

Please help.

Thanks

Try running the various repair functions in the WMUtil program:

Trend Micro antivirus is among the top three troublemakers for Windows Mail.
First, go into its settings and disable any interaction with email, then try
Windows Mail again. If no improvement, do a trial uninstall of the antivirus.

Another option (instead of uninstalling Trend Micro) is to upgrade to
Windows Live Mail, which is more resistant to the adverse effects of
overly intrusive antivirus products: http://download.live.com/wlmail

In any case you must disable any antivirus email scanning, for the reason
explained here:
