Vista Tutorial - Steve Cochran...?

Steve, it seems from reading many posts that there is something a bit
screwy about Vista Mail. I personally get a " not responding " message
whenever I try to open or save an attachment. I will then run your great
program (WMutil) and all is well again for a short while. Obviously
something is causing this to break, but for the life of me I can not
figure it out. I have done all the fixes you have suggested and am on my
third AV program NOD32 and still it persists. I am running a clean
install of Vista Ultimate on a 3 month old high end laptop. I am running
the current version of Thunderbird mail and it is doing an excellent job
so far,but am hoping you might find a permanent fix for Vista Mail.
Thanks for all you do for the NG..
Bob

Bob,
I am having problems with my attachments in my email. I can not open them
all of a sudden. What is Wmulti? What is Thunderbird mail and can you use
the same email address with it? Thank you in advance.

Wmutil is a nifty program written by Steve Cochran that addresses the
problem we seem to be having, but at least in my case i doesn't last.
Just do a search on the ng and there should be a link to the program. As
far as Thunderbird mail goes, yes you set it up anyway you wish and it
appears to be faster than Vista Mail. I have not yet been able to
convert my contacts over yet,but I think I just need to put a little
more time and thought into it. I am just hoping someone will either tell
me what I am doing wrong or come up with a permanent fix.

Just do a Google search for Thunderbird Mail

Is there a way to keep the "BCC" line visible at all times ???I use it
alllll the time to avoid addresses going everywhere....and it's a pain to
have to open it everytime to insert addresses.....

In a compose window, go to View, select All Headers.
That setting is sticky.

Check your NOD32 settings and ensure that it is not set to scan email. Also
clear your Temporary Internet files in IE. Which function are you using in
WMUtil to fix the problem?

I've recently starting getting "not responding" when I try to click on an
email. It will eventually display, sometimes, in the preview pane, but is
extremely slow even at the beginning when starting up. Closing program or
restarting does not help either.
What is the WMultil program mentioned and how do I get it? If that's what I
should do(?)

The compact and repair database functions sometimes will help with
performance issues such as you describe. Also disable antivirus scanning of
email. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 and www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/
