Question asked on Mar 7, 2013
Running Windows 7.  I get my email through Earthlink.net.  Normally, I then download it to Windows Life Mail.  Now I have one email "stuck in the pipeline."  It's been downloading for days now!   I when to the Earthlink mailbox and deleted everything, and after that the stuck message was no longer downloading.  AS soon as another message came in to Earthlink,, I got the download window back, and it was stuck again.  I tell it to stop, and it says its finishing the first message - forever and ever, I guess.   Tried Ctrl-Alt-Delete - no help.  Rebooted the computer - no help.  I'm out of ideas.  If I uninstall Windows Live Mail, will I lose all my saved messages?

Hope someone can help.  Answer I got from someone was "good luck and don't use WLM in future." 

Thanks,

Ginny
