What antivirus programs if any do you have? Some of the common
ones cause various problems in Windows Mail, although seldom
immediately.
Download and install this fix, without Windows Mail running:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/941090
It is labelled as for messages stuck in the Outbox, but also
works in other folders. If you don't know whether to use
the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version, try the 32-bit
version first. If you have certain antivirus programs,
the problem is likely to come back eventually, in which
case installing the fix again usually works again.
