Running Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail, for no apparent reason WLM suddenly got stuck, reporting in the bottom right corner, that it is "Updating calendar..."  I have never used the calendar in the 12 months I have been running WLM (I don't even display it) and have never updated it at all.  However, now that WLM is permanently stuck in this updating mode, I can neither send nor receive emails until I shut WLM down and reopen it when I get a brief window of opportunity to perform its normal functions, after which it returns to calendar updating mode and it might as well not be running at all. I tried going to Cotrol Panel/Programs and repair Windows Essentials (this was suggested by someone) but it didn't work.

 

What to do?
