Does this help in the diagnosis?

I did that too and no problems.
I reinstalled it all though.
I'm also having trouble with system tray icons, which
is why I log off and log on. The OE problem only occurs on relogging in.
I have had success with the system tray icons by disabling as much as I
can of Norton at startup, switching off auto-protect at start up for
example.
I'm yet to test the old problem, I'm getting sick of doing it.



Uninstall Norton and get NOD32 or free Avast.

Default Errors in Outlook Express since Windows Update April 2007

I am running Norton 2006 as supplied by my ISP. On further investigation I
find that the problem is not fixed. With Email scanning disabled I can
receive mail on any account now, however I cannot send mail on any account
after the first one to use Outlook Express. From other comments in this
thread it would appear that Norton and Outlook Express do not have a good
history so best I look at my Email on the server rather than download it to
my PC via Outlook Express.

Is it certain the Windows Update caused it?
I uninstalled the last 4 updates and still have this problem also.
Re-configuring Nortons will probably not change anything, the actual
cause is more mysterious.
Just a couple of weeks ago a Windows update caused an error with
Realtek
sound software,
Microsoft gave a fix for it.

2. If no joy, your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its
the
default Main Identity. Leaving Email Protection disabled, try one or
more
of your mail accounts in a new Named Identity (File Identities Add
new
identity). Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old
identity, (2) import messages from the old identity into the new one,
and
then (3) delete the old one (File Identities Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to
local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [not available in SP2] and frequently
perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline".

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

Default Errors in Outlook Express since Windows Update April 2007

Frank I had responded to you in a different steam previously;however, now i
have fixed the problem. I resolved my problem by working through an online
MS utility that validated the installation of the MS Genuine advantage tool.
It found an error with the installation of the MS office validation active X
controls. I let the web based utility correct the error. I also reinstalled
the recently installed Windows Media 11 player. Not sure which was the
solution but the problem is resolved and Norton is up and running just fine
and had nothing to do with the issue. I am running Norton Internet security
2006 with Spam filtering and AV as well as Norton system works Premier 2003.
As I suspected neither of the Norton products had anything to do with the
problem so I suggest you stop advising people to disable Norton and look a
little closer to home (ie Redmond).

Norton is very much a problem with OE, despite your conclusions to the
contrary. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 You will likely be posting here
again about issues or about lost messages.

And Frank doesn't live anywhere near Redmond, so you go that wrong also.
