Problems with Windows Mail in Vista
I have an interesting problem. Having recently bought a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium I set up Windows Mail for my account and my wife's. Hers works perfectly and connects every time we go online. When we change user to my account I start up Windows Mail and get the following error messages:
An unknown error has occurred. Protocol: SMTP, Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800C0148
and
An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'mail.virgin.net', Server: 'mail.virgin.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800C0148
The crazy thing is that it worked perfectly for an hour or so but from the next time I booted the PC until now I have been getting the same error messages. I have checked both our connection details and they are identical. I simply don't understand how hers can work and mine has stopped. Also, sometimes the Inbox shows I have messages and other times it shows none, although the Local Folders on the left side of the screen shows they are still present.
I have imported old messages from my previous PC that used Outlook Express 6 for both my wife and myself and they show in the Imported Folders.
I use McAfee virus protection and am wondering if this could be the cause of the problem, although why it should work fine for my wife and not for me is a mystery.
If anyone know of a solution I'd be pleased to hear it because this problem has got me stumped.
Thanks everyone,
Stuart
