I just noticed thay my junk email is blocked, can anyone tell me how to
unblock. I also noticed that I cannot delete my emails in the inbox. I have
windows vista, and I just updated the latest version of spy sweeper
yesterday. Not sure if this is all a result of my latest security update????
Please help.
 
Lost,

I and several other people have had the same problem. Go to

www.oehelp.com/wmutil

and download Steve's utility to your desktop per his instructions. Then use
the utility, after unzipping, and compact your e-mail and the problem will
go away. It did for me and hopefully will for you. Also in the future,
compact your e-mail every time the dialog box appears asking if you want to
compact your e-mail.

Good luck and let me know what happens.

Not sure what you mean by "my junk email is blocked."
I wish my junk email was blocked. Actually, WM's junk
email filter is blocking about 80% of spam for me.

Windows Mail has problems with many third party security products.
If you are not willing to dump them, try Windows Live Mail:

I don't know what "my junk email is blocked" means.

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Beside that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail.

If you are not willing to just ignore the stuck messages in your Inbox, the
only way to get rid of them is to delete both copies of the database (which
does not contain the messages, but only references to them) and let WinMail
rebuild it.
First close WinMail, then use Task Manager to make sure there are no
instances of it under applications or processes.
Then click Start | Search | Advanced Search
Check the box to include non-indexed, hidden and system files.
In the Name field type WindowsMail.MSMessageStore and click the Search
button.
It should show you two copies. Delete both of them and re-open WinMail.
