I just bought a new laptop with windows vista.
Everything perfect, internet access ok, however when I send e-mails they
only appear in the outbox and are not sent. The mails are only sent when I
restart the computer
 
I also have the same problem. This is not much help to you Gerard K but
perhaps there are lots of others out there perhaps Micosoft should provide a
patch
 
Where have you been? Microsoft HAS provided a patch:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090

Note: This will cure existing stuck emails, but I don't think it will
prevent future stuck emails. For prevention of this problem,
you may need to change your antivirus program.
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

Hmm -- "Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their email
scanning option turned off."

I use AVG Antivirus Free Edition from http://www.grisoft.com/, with Windows
Mail and with email scanning turned on. I haven't noticed any problems so
far.
