Which antivirus program are you running?
Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee and 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
