I have been having a problem with Windows Live Mail 2011. It will freeze in the middle of receiving new emails and requires that I restart the computer; then it may work for a while. I am running Windows 7 Home Edition, and suspect the Live Mail program has been corrupted. Is there a way to uninstall Live Mail and reinstall it via a download?

Hi, 

My hotmail temporarily freezes for 10's of seconds to many minutes.  The processor is not busy, only 4% and there is no data uploading or down loading during these periods.  The only solution to stop the longer freezes is to disconnect the internet connection and reconnect it and then instantly all is OK until it happens again.  I am running I.E. 8 on an XP machine and have run a full virus check with Norton that showed no problems.

 

What is the possible cause of the Hotmail freezing issue???

Regards

Derek

AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN I’M GETTING THE SAME ERROR MESSAGES. UNTIL WHEN FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!???:
 
When trying to delete, open or move files from junk folder I get the following messages:
 
On trying to delete a file:  “AN UNKNOWN ERROR HAS OCCURRED”
 
On trying to open a file: “A PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THIS MESSAGE”

I'm totally sick of MS constantly making us waste our time with desperate frustration and give us heart attacks! 
Since a few days I'm experiencing the "micro-freezes" with Mac's spinning wheel in Outlook, and it is making it almost unusable.
Every few minutes, Outlook completely hangs and displays the spinning wheel for 3-4 seconds, during which anyway it buffers what I'm typing or clicking.
The issue does not happen when "Work Offline" is selected.

It worked quite well for about 6 months. Other colleagues had the same issue after a similar amout of time and switched to mail.app.

I am only using an Exchange account, over https. No pop, no imap.

I've read somewhere about problems with signatures, and I've tried to disable it: no changes.
I've disabled any Sync Service in Outlook: no changes.
I've rebuild Outlook's database: no changes.
I've looked at Wireshark while Outlook was running and didn't noticed anything strange before or after the freezes. Outlook's network activity stops during the freeze.
Outlook's Progress window doesn't show anything before, during or after the freezes.
I've enabled Outlook's Error Logs: nothing is shown.

Did anybody manage to solve the problem, or everybody just switched to mail.app?

I'll try to create a new Identity and start from scratch with it; I'm also going to try and switch from https to http. After that, I'll move to mail.app.

Thanks!
