Gary VanderMolen said:Which antivirus are you using?
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

I have been using Windows mail for 3 months now and it has worked perfectly. After the first posting that forwards were not being sent,all I get now is a blackbox. I can't even see my mail.What's happening?

Now it is working fine. I am running McAfee which came with the computer. This is the first time it has given me problems in three months. Why would it have a problem with it now? I am not a computer genius so I don't understand the sudden problem with the anti-virus program. Is that still the virus protection causing it ? I hate to remove my McAfee if that isn't the problem because I really like the protection it provides? Sorry about my computer ignorance, I really don't understand the sudden non-compatibility after 3 months . I guess after using XP and then getting Vista and every week having to uninstall, reinstall, disable, enable, add,remove, etc. it gets old. Thank you.
