When I start up Windows Mail, things are ok. New mail is downloaded without
problem.

But if I push "send/receive" or select "synchronize", the detail window pops
up and reports an error. No e-mails are downloaded. The error window does
not report any specifics about the error that occured.

I have to restart Mail in order to download new e-mail.

Other mail programs like Thunderbird and Outlook work without a hitch.

Any idea how to correct this?

Thanks.
 
might try to do your accounts one at a time to try and tie it down to which one has the problem.

Now this is not account specific.

I have 3 mail accounts.

I can do "receive all". Works fine.
I can select each account individually. Works fine

If I select "send all" or "sychronize all" or "send and receive all" this message pops up.
0 of 1 tasks completed. Error occured.

but the error window itself is empty.

BTW: I can send e-mail just fine. only the send/receive function which I need to update my mail does not work.

I deleted all files in AppData for Windows Mail.
Now everything works again

Sounds like you had an undeletable message stuck in your Outbox.

BTW, Usenet posts should not be in HTML.

Hi i had the same problem using your answer i found that just deleting the
Microsoft Communities folders fixed the problem thanks
 
My ISP's news server, news.prodigy.net, also carries these newsgroups,
and I'm sure these newsgroups are propagated to other NNTP servers.

Percentage-wise the HTML posters here are very few.

OP, mikey, you and I are all using the MS servers, where HTML is definitely
permitted. If other servers slurp the microsoft.public newsgroups that's
their problem, not ours or Microsoft's.

The problems with posting HTML here, as I see it:

1. The HTML format option in WinMail/OE is not configurable per server.
So someone who posts HTML here is likely to do so in non-MS
newsgroups. A a matter of fact, I frequently see the OP post HTML
in the newsgroup alt.cellular.sprintpcs, a definite faux pas.

2. When people like myself who *always* post in plain text, reply to a
HTML post, the indenting is stripped, and it becomes difficult to discern
who wrote what.
