| | Windows Mail won't send email Hi, I've just got a new laptop w/ Vista, and I've imported all my old email/address book.contact information from Outlook Express. I'm currently able to receive email, but I just tried to send my first email and immediately got an error message back which reads: "The message could not be sent. An error has occurred." And it then provides a link to this forum. Any ideas? The email is still sitting on my desktop. It didn't move it to the outbox or the drafts folder, and it didn't even try to send the email by popping up the connections window. I clicked send, then the error message popped up just like that. Thanks, Claire |

| | Re: Windows Mail won't send email Are you running an antivirus that is not compatible with Windows Mail? Both Norton and McAfee antivirus are incompatible and those would need to be uninstalled. Replace with a compatible antivirus like the free version of Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html Gary VanderMolen "claire" <claire@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:39E3CF6E-062C-4825-9064-780AF5215BDC@microsoft.com... > As an additional, when I try to save the message to drafts folder so I can > restart and try again, I get a message which reads: > > "Cannot save this message" > > Claire > > "claire" wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I've just got a new laptop w/ Vista, and I've imported all my old >> email/address book.contact information from Outlook Express. >> >> I'm currently able to receive email, but I just tried to send my first email >> and immediately got an error message back which reads: >> >> "The message could not be sent. >> >> An error has occurred." >> >> And it then provides a link to this forum.

| | Re: Windows Mail won't send email I also have an email sitting in my inbox date 5/29/07, a few months after I purchased my Vista laptop. I had others but they ended up being normal emails originally, however when in my deleted folder, I selected a group of them to delete, certain ones ended up with that message and wouldn't leave my deleted folder. I found a solution accidently for the ones in the deleted folder... since they were already there.. I created a message rules, and asked windows to delete on exit, anything with this message... It worked on those ones! The original one in the inbox, unfortunately is stuck there. I no longer use McAffee which came on the computer, but use a favorite that my brother gave me called VCOM Fix It Utilities by Avanquest. In between taking out McAffee and installing the new one, where I was not protected at all, I still couldn't get rid of that one email. The only other thing I can think of is maybe there is possibly some McAffee files still in the registry If you have a solution, Please let me know... thanks...

| | Re: Windows Mail won't send email Try the Microsoft fix: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090 Although it only mentions the Outbox folder, it also gets rid of stuck emails in other folders.
