How many having E-mail deletion problems use Time Warner as their

Maybe this is a long shot, but when AmmandaW mentioned in reply to my post,
that she uses Time Warner Cable as her ISP, a light went on. I also use Time
Warner as my ISP and I am curious how many others having this problem are
also using Time Warner or one of it's subsidaries as their ISP?

Is it possible that there is partially a problem with the WinMail program
talking with the TWC servers? Some sort of problem between the two software
programs? I'm just curious if this might be why no one has been able to solve
this, because the problem is two fold?

Anyways, I am still curious how many people use TWC, that are having this
same problem.

Thanks,

There is no causal relationship between Time Warner and WinMail.
We've had many posting here with problems from Comcast, Charter
and AT&T/SBC. It makes sense that the biggest ISPs would have the
most users writing in. Those who write in with server problems almost
always have one of their account settings misconfigured.

Do you get problems deleting mail messages, newsgroup messages or
both? Which method of deleting are you using?

Again 2 things......sigh
First, Norton's website says works w/Vista, is that a good one?
And also, I am unable to create a message to send here, can only reply, does
that make sense?
Thanks again

1. No, both Norton and McAfee antivirus (AV) are known to cause problems
with Windows Mail. You are better off using one of the free AV programs:
AVG or Avast. Whichever antivirus program you decide to use, it must be
configured NOT to scan email. See http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

2. I don't know why you would have difficulty posting here. What happens
when you click on New Post?

Gary,

I didn't exactly mean a relationship between TWC and WinMail. I layed out my
thoughts fairly clearly if you look below. I proposed that possibly, there
might be a problem with Winmail talking to the TWC servers, implying that
there might be a configuration problem between the two. Not that one was
virtually the same as the other, because they were related. I know they are
two separate companies. My uncle used to work for Microsoft, I wish he still
did so I could find out where Microsoft stands on this issue and if they were
going to take care of it sometime soon or not?

I understood exactly what you were saying.
Take it from an email expert, there is absolutely no reason to
consider the possibility of WinMail having trouble talking to the
TWC servers or vice versa.

Hi Gary
Thanks as usual.
I will delete the McAfee.
When I try to create a new message, I go to file, new, but no address. I
tried putting microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail in my contacts but it says
not a valid email address or something like that. I usually reply to group,
but would like to ask questions w/out the subject different.
Grrr, I feel so dumb!!
Tks again
Cindy

You do not delete programmes, you uninstall. Select Start, Settings,
Control Panel, Programmes and Features.

To create a new message select Message, New or use the keyboard
shortcut Ctrl+N. You use File, New to create a new folder. If your
cursor is placed anywhere in the list of messages for xx newsgroup
when you select Message, New the newsgroup address is automatically
entered, so there is no need to enter
microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail in your list of Contacts. The
Contact list is for email addresses not newsgroups addresses. In
newsgroups, if replying, you should always use the Reply to Group
option and place the cursor on the particular message you are
replying before selecting Reply to Group.

File | New | News Message will open up a new message addressed to the
newsgroup you are reading. Or you can click the word "Newsgroup" and it
will give you a list of newsgroups.
