All the mail problems I keep hearing about

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I also kept getting that same nasty message spouting out nonsense about Windows Mail.EXE Error # 0X800C0155,2... or whatever.
I went to Microsoft's on-line self help. Got nowhere.
Now... VISTA being, well... VISTA, I had gotten Norton 360 with the thought in mind of replacing certain parts of VISTA's tools with those from Norton. After Microsoft didn't manage to do anything more than confuse me, I went to Norton self help, downloaded a recommended update.
No problems sending or receiving since then.
Not sure if the Norton programs pre-installed in some computers might be causing all sorts of troubles for all sorts of people, but if you do have Norton, can't hurt to give it a try: download whatever updates and patches they might have.
