There is a tutorial which addresses many issues with Windows Mail that may help.

news Sir, I am becomming increasingly annoyed at the unstableness of windows mail. Today all my e-mail's received and sent as well as the folders just deleted. What's going on..? -- Len Tadford Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML files from the scan. It provides no protection not provided by the regular resident protection. Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's anti-virus seems to be causing problems too. -- Frank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM www.fjsmjs.com Do not reply with email |

I am curious. Concerning email scanning in antivirus programs. Why should
it be turned off? What sort of conflict does it cause? Thanks for your reply! -- Check out the great stores listed here! Receive special offers!

The conflict is caused when the antivirus deletes an email which it
suspects to be infected with a virus. The email database (message index) does not get updated,causing it to go out of sync. Aside from email scanning, the antivirus does real-time scanning, which monitors every disk access, whether it be a 'save' or a file 'open'. Emails can't do any harm unless they are opened or saved, which is when the real time protection kicks in. Symantec (Norton) is a recognized leader in the antivirus field, and they originated the email scanning concept. However, they admit that it is redundant and unnecessary: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...= bar_sch_nam -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "tempting2taanzaa" wrote in message ...

... I am curious. Concerning email scanning in antivirus programs. Why should it be turned off? What sort of conflict does it cause? It interposes a proxy between the mail client (Windows Mail or whatever) and the mail server (on the mail provider's computer). This causes a delay while the mail is scanned. This delay may be long enough for either the client of the server to timeout, i.e. to decide there isn't going to be an answer and to quit listening. To make it worse, many of these programs tell the client that an outgoing message has been received and then take long enough for the server to timeout and never receive the message. Since the client thinks the message was sent it moves the message from the Outbox to Sent Items. Ach then there's what Gary said: it checks for viruses anyway. -- Frank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM www.fjsmjs.com Do not reply with email |
