You cannot delete WM from Vista. It is a integral part of the OS. What you might want to do is to delete the short cut so as it will not show.

You can also try Windows Live Mail instead. It apparently has more and better features than WM

Hi Pete,

You most likely have a stuck message in one of your mailbox folders. 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.

I would recommend Peter's suggestion to switch to Windows Live Mail. If you need to get Windows Mail going again, then you can look here for a solution.
