Re: question:

Which antivirus are you running?
Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee or
Norton security programs. Those will need to be
uninstalled, not just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see

Re: question:

So what is your point? Either you decide to live with the problem,
or else you invest some time and effort and try out the fixes that
the experts suggest.
