Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Mail / May 2008win mail sends mail only after restart (+other crazy stuff)
Hi, Just bought a new Toshiba A210 laptop running Vista. After composing a message in windows mail, when I press the Send button nothing hapens (note: the "send messages immediately" option IS checked). It gets stucked in the Outbox and is only sent if I close and restart WM. Also : the unread messages count (e.g (2)) in the folders list on the left is usually wrong, indicating read messages as unread and v.v. Also : at some point the folders list on the left totally disapeared ! I already tried the following : -reinstalled Windows Vista from the recovery disk -uninstalled Norton -uninstalled some SMS program (I don't remember its name) -installed Service Pack 1 -did a Windows Update It is still not working and I'm getting crazy... Any suggestions ? Thanks Basil > Hi, > Just bought a new Toshiba A210 laptop running Vista.

I don't remember its name either. Also, you may want to check if you have the Google Toolbar program installed, and if you do, uninstall it too. > -installed Service Pack 1 > -did a Windows Update [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Thanks > Basil There are some email servers which object to the order in which Windows Mail does a combined send and receive. If you're using one of them, you may have to do the send and receive separately by clicking on the triangle to the right of Send/Receive, then either Receive All or Send All, and waiting a few seconds after this finishes before you do the other. > > Hi, > > Just bought a new Toshiba A210 laptop running Vista.

Thanks guys, I will try the Norton removal tool next (before I throw the laptop out of the window). No, there is no Google Toolbar installed. I had also tried separate send and receive, separately also for each of two different e-mail accounts from totally different mail servers...

Nada ! You're welcome. After the Norton tool, remove your mail accounts, close and reopen WinMail and add them back again, as Norton sets up a proxy that is not going to work after you uninstall it. steve >> > Hi, >> > Just bought a new Toshiba A210 laptop running Vista.
