Re: windows mail not sending

As far as free ones? No, but you can try Avast, which is equivalent.
Of the paid ones, NOD32 is probably the best.

Is there a better antivirus to go with than AVG?

"Gary VanderMolen" wrote:

Definitely uninstall McAfee and also use that special removal tool,
before you install the free AVG antivirus.
Also, when you install AVG, don't use the default install.
Select 'Custom' install, which then allows you to unselect installing its
troublesome email scanning module.

Well that didn't work, as you indicated it probably wouldn't, so I guess the
next step is to uninstall McAfee. Several years ago I had a laptop from the
company I worked for, the IT guy their installed AVG Free on all our laptops,
is that one of the antivirus programs your refurring to? If so should I
uninstall the old before putting in the new?

McAfee antivirus is among the top three troublemakers for Windows Mail.
Sometimes it takes a while before symptoms start showing up.
First of all, turn off email scanning in McAfee, although that is seldom sufficient.
Next, delete that email account (because it has been corrupted by McAfee),
restart Windows Mail, then recreate the account.

If the problem continues, the only way you can prove or disprove that
McAfee is the culprit is to uninstall it, followed by using their debris removal tool:

If you decide to replace McAfee, we can recommend a free antivirus
program which is more compatible with Windows Mail:

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 overly intrusive antivirus products: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

Even with WLM, you must disable email scanning in the antivirus,
for the reason explained here:

Gary, i'm at the end of my rope!!!! I removed the accounts from WM
re-installed them, no change. I spoke with ATT, they were on the phone with
me for two hours no change, said go to MS, who said go to Dell, who want to
charge me. Went back to MS, they want to charge me also. For something that
has never worked right. My antivirus is McAfee.

Help me Obiwan........your my only hope!!!!!

If you are sure you are you are entering the correct username and

One thing you should try as a quick fix is to delete that corrupted
mail account, restart Windows Mail, then recreate that account.

If that doesn't fix it, more drastic measures will have to be taken.
Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus must be turned off,
although that may not be sufficient to eliminate all bad effects.
In a worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

If turning off the email scanning function does not resolve your problem,
consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it is less prone to
suffering bad effects from overly aggressive antivirus programs.

Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons

Gary, thanks so much for your help, I got with ATT and they finished it up
for me.....but I couldn't have got that far without you. Now, after sending
out emails all day WM has started askingfor the respective user name and
password for each account. What now?

Well, we need to get you a working email account that uses a port other
than 25 for SMTP. Once you have that set up and working properly,
we can take the next step by utilizing that proven SMTP server in your
suppersdirect.com account.

I'm sorry I'm even more confused.....how will setting up a new account in
Windows Mail change the fact that I can't send mail through the two different
Domain.coms I'm involved with?

"Gary VanderMolen" wrote:

If it's SBC, you can use the send settings given here:
http://helpme.att.net/article.php?item=10707

Either set up a separate account in Windows Mail for AT&T (SBC), or
else substitute their send settings for your current send settings in
your existing suppersdirect account. If you need more help with that,
let me know. In order to use this approach, you need to know your
AT&T username and password.

I believe it's SBC.

"Gary VanderMolen" wrote:

I'm not sure what your reference to an option in McAfee pertains to.
McAfee should not be allowed to interfere with your email in any way, shape, or form.

AT&T has three major divisions: former SBC, former Bellsouth, and WorldNet.
Do you know which division you are with? Do you have an email address through
AT&T? If so, what is the part after the @ symbol?

I believe it's ATT.........back to that idiot thing,..... although I do
remember seeing something in McAfee or somewhere, giving me an option, so if
you can walk me through it that would be great!

"Gary VanderMolen" wrote:

Your settings are correct now, but it looks like you are running into a
port 25 block, see http://www.postcastserver.com/help/Port_25_Blocking.aspx

If you are sending from home, you need to substitute the SMTP server
belonging to your home ISP. If you need help with that, let me know who
your home ISP is.
