Windows Mail and AOL

All of a sudden cannot send mail from Windows Mail thru AOL. [Can receive
though] Also, can't delete one item from outbox. Hope a fix is on the way.
Any ideas what happened. Did AOL change SMTP protocol? Hmmmmm!

The cause is likely to be AV software playing up.
M$ can't fix incompatible software.

Which product are you using?

Use http://www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/Default.aspx to clear outbox
which may be what prevents you sending.
