I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY VISTA WINDOWS MAIL SHUTS DOWN EVERY TIME YOU FORWARD AN E-MAIL. ...

You're "shouting" by using all caps, and you're way off-topic.
This bugs people. Anyhow, I've just come out of a
similar experience (caveat: may have nothing to do with your
problem, but anyway ... ). I recently installed the latest version of Zone
Alarm Extreme Security on two different machines running WinXP
(one Media Center edition, one Home edition). Both machines
use Outlook Express 6.0 for mail and news. Each machine
started running into a shut-down problem, occasionally, not
"every time", during forwarding. I turned off the Junk E-mail filter,
and the problem seems to have gone away . Also, mail processing
has become much faster.

Did you by any chance install this latest Zone Alarm?
Note: the filter, if on at all, is used on outgoing mail as well
as incoming.

I have no idea of the degree of interaction between ZA and
the operating system and/or mail software, but it seems not
too improbable that the same problem could turn up with
a different Windows version and different mail software.
I may be able to find out more on the ZA forum.



I've used Zone Alarm for a number of years now (currently ZA Security Suite), and the Junk email filter does cause quite a delay and/or lock-ups in sending/receiving on both my XP and Vista PC's. For that reason, I've disabled it. When using OE in XP or Windows Mail in Vista, I've written a couple of rules to determine what is spam/junk and what should be passed through. I also use the Block Sender option quite often. I don't see much spam in my inbox any more, and the rules are quite simple to write, and don't cause the lags that ZA did.
Since Win7 won't be having an email/news client with it, I installed and played with Mozilla Thunderbird. That may not be my final choice, but it's definitely in the lead. With some add-in features and a little tweaking, it looks and acts very similar to OE. Plus it has its own built-in junk filter.
