If still no joy, turn off e-mail scanning.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving,
and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting
changes and has even been responsible for loss of messages. Your
up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For
more, see:

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the
program and reinstall in Custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the
option arises.

I had this same problem which I fought for 2 days. I disabled my AVG
email scanner and firewall, rebooted several times, called my ISP in
U.S. and was told probably ISP problem in Mexico. Decided to do a SYSTEM
RESTORE to 3 days prior and still had the problem. So I did another
restore to todays date, turned on my email scanner and firewall and
"bang" Windows Mail started working again.

This is why you will notice in many of the posts in this NG that it is
stated antivirus programs cause intermittent issues, with no "rhyme or
reason" - okay one day, gone south the next. Sometimes a reboot will fix
it, sometimes you have to uninstall, sometimes you can turn it off, reboot,
turn it back on and all is fine. Sometimes it never recovers . . . .

So, the best bet is to uninstall the antivirus completely and use one that
does not interact with email as it is a redundancy layer of security -
normal file scanning will take care of any issues in email because after
all, email is just a file . . . . .

I forgot to say that I had installed 8 Vista security updates prior to
the original problem.
Today I decided to add the updates 1 at a time. After I installed the
first one I then opened Windows mail and the problem came back. So now I
will try to solve the problem again. I have already shut down my email
scanner and firewall.

I have completely removed my AVG anti virus software from my computer.
I have restored my system and I still get 0x800ccc0e when trying to
send mail. I believe the problem is in Windows Mail and not caused by
any of the anti virus programs mentioned in this forum. The common
thread is Windows Mail. Since my laptop was preloaded with Vista Home
Basic when I purchased it, I have no DVD to install from. Others on
this forum are probably in the same boat. So I don't believe Microsoft
will come up with a fix and have purchased Vista Home Premium to
download to a DVD and do an upgrade install. Hopefully that will solve
my problem.

I could not do an upgrade install. Instead as a work-around I opened a
gmail account. While I was at it I decided to download Google Chrome. I
have found out something very interesting. I chose Chrome as my default
browser instead of Internet Explorer 8. Lo and behold Windows Mail is
now working correctly. Whether I used Windows 98, XP an now Vista when
doing something I have received messages saying that IE and
Outlook/Windows Mail use some things in common. Whatever was/is the
cause Mail is now working.
