Hi Bret,
that your windowsLM shows one entry is as what I had before this error occured.
When waiting around 10 minutes, the search on wlmail.exe was completed and found several results as shown in the added file. There is only one wlmail.exe .
Maybe the error arises because of a message of windows live mail that it cannot send or receive messages for one of my outlook accounts. ( the error number 0x80004005 is not popular knowledge.) I set up this account to share info with a other person, trying to use the same mail address for back-up purposes. Should I just cancel this account?
I did do the other efforts you suggested, without results.
check the problem account settings :
File, Options, @ Email Accounts,
highlight a good account, Properties, make a note of the entries in General, Server, Security,
then check the problem account, Properties, check the General, Server & Security entries for any obvious errors,
if you can find none,
try removing the problem account, reboot your pc, then check if the problem still occurs,
if the problem is cleared,
you could try adding the problem account in again
you don't state if you are using IMAP or POP3,
whichever you are using, try changing to the other,
