Within the last week I have encountered a problem with Windows Live Mail getting "stuck" while checking for new email messages. The "Checking for new messages on . . ." window opens but just hangs there with a small part of the progress bar shown and a Status of "Executing."
The only way I can clear this is to restart my system. Then it opens normally and will for a time (duration unknown) function. But, regardless of whether I leave it open or close it, at a later point when I try to get new messages it goes into this "stuck" state. I do not get any error messages.
I have reinstalled the program and that has not fixed the problem. And I'm using Windows 8.1 (for a couple of weeks now before this problem occurred). Anyone have any clues what is going on?
