Vista - winmail.exe

Why is winmail.exe always in memory?

I forgot to add that the icon in left corner (you know when you got a new
mail) stays always there even if I read a new mail!!!!!!!

Hi Milan,

If you have Windows Mail running or Windows Mail has a process still running, then you will have "winmail.exe" listed in Task Manager. If you do not have Windows Mail open and it is still in memory, then click on "winmail.exe" and click "End Process" for it.

For your new email notification icon in the corner:
Make sure that the new email is marked as read.

And

Make sure your antivirus program has all of it's email scanning options turned off. This is a redundant feature that can corrupt Windows Mail. Plus, you will still be protected by your antivirus's real-time resident monitoring protection. Norton and McAfee seem to be the worst offenders with Windows Mail problems even with email scanning off, while Avast or AVG has not had any problems reported so far.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Your issues are probably related to antivirus software. See
