After finally getting Windows Mail (not WLM) to work beautifully, I have only
one glitch. A persistent popup that says " Some errors occurred while
processing - blah, blah) and the error is " The connection to the server has
failed - etc. etc."
I do not have messages that can't be sent/deleted as per the many posters in
these sites, nor any other probs in these sites, and I compact my database
every time the dialog box appears.
My computer goes haywire everytime I try Steve's download, so that's out.
How else can I get rid of this "fly in the ointment"? Thanks, Wayne
PS - A curious thing is that I have never had anything in my Outbox. Is that
significant? What is the Outbox for?

Regarding "The connection to the server has
failed - etc. etc." we would need to see the "etc." part.
Right-click on the error message, copy, then paste into
a reply here.

I think it's strange that nobody seems to question their internet connection
when errors like this occur.
Me, that's the first place I check.

-- Thank you both. On taking a 2nd look I believe it is related to my
server. The error originated with an "invalid address" Email. Not having
figured out copying and pasting yet, I couldn't relay the message with this
post. I will contact my server first thing. Wayne

What do you mean your computer goes haywire?
