Of the free antivirus programs, the ones that are compatible
with Windows Mail are:
AVG free edition:

or
Avast free edition:

However, with either of those, during the install phase you must select
'custom' install, and then deselect the email scanning module so it won't install.
Instead of switching to a different antivirus, another option is to upgrade
to Windows Live Mail (WLM), which is more resistant to the adverse effects
of aggressive antivirus products: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview
Even with WLM, you must disable email scanning in the antivirus.

Gary's post seems to be gone from my post. I used the McAfee removal tool he.
suggested along with creating new accounts as SIW2 suggested. I think my
email may be working again! Can't believe it. I'll never use any McAfee
product again. Is there an antivirus program that doesn't take up so much
hard drive and cause problems? Thank you very much to Gary and SIW2. I had
given up on Windows Mail.

Suggest you go to Cox website , check you have all the right settings -
they may have changed them.
Even if you have the right settings, it is worth deleting your account
, restarting your mail program, and setting up your account again .
Hope that helps - let me if it does or not
