Sounds like your e-mail program has a corrupt file.

You may have to un-install and then re-install.
The reason for the un-install is to wipe out all of the files,
if you re-install right over top, the corrupt file may remain on the computer.

When was the last time you ran the virus scan.
I also have been hearing lately about an e-mail hole,
I don't understand it fully, I just have not had the time to read the article.

If all that don't work, open a g-mail account and have the stuff from the other account forwarded to it. Mine's done that way.

Are you using a web based e-mail or a computer based?
web based would be HOTMAIL or YAHOO mail,
computer based would be LOTUS NOTES or Microsoft Outlook.

If web based, you probably have a virus,
there is a good free scanner at this link:

If computer based, it is not that hard to un-install,
usually in the start menu for your program there is an icon for un-installing,
if not, go to the control panel and open "Add or Remove Programs"
a list of all your programs will come up
and give you options for removing.

It's Outlook...once I un-install it...where do I retrieve it from to reinstall?...

I appreciate your help w/this Parishht...

If I'm not mistaken you may be able to double click on the yellow triangle exclamation point thingy and get more details. Then do a google search with that info and any other relavent keywords. You may find where someone reported a similar issue and what was done to resolve it.

Good luck buddy,
