If you are running Avast, go to the Avast site and hunt mail problems. I know for a fact that there are instances where it interferes with mail programs.
Another ploy would be to uninstall Avast and test drive MSE security essential until you correct your problem.
Wish I were more help.
I am running Avast with MS Office including Outlook on my old computer and have no problems. Been using it for years.
Another shot in the dark!
Anything to do with TCP/IP settings for Windows 7?
Change TCP/IP settings
I've read the article but I don't think that's the problem. Remember, other email programs and Internet connections work fine on this machine. Windows Live mail works perfectly and it can send and receive mail. / ? ?
Thanks for the try.
Thanks to help from member=Hammerhead, I've checked out several articles and "fix-it's" in the Outlook section.
Nothing yet.
I wonder if Windows Live Mail could be interfearing with Outlook. Anybody running both on the same machine?
Thanks to Irene's insistance that I go back to the Outlook solutions center, I did.
After poking around and searching/researching several articles, I found the fix. It is a Registry key entry that has to be deleted as follows:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings\
This fixed the problem. I am sincerly grateful to Irene and Hammerhead for all their help and persistance in sticking with this proble. You guys are real pro's.
Yea and eureka etc. I glad you found that. You showed real patience hanging in there.
