What sort of account - POP3, IMAP or HTTP? If you're not sure,
right-click on the account name and select Properties. On the
Server(s) tab, the first line under Server Information will tell
you.

Meanwhile, try forcing a re-indexation of the database: go to [Tools

database on shutdown' is selected with 'every n runs' set to 1. OK
your way out, select File > Work offline and then File > Close.
Answer Yes to the dialogue that appears. If you get an error message
at that stage, dismiss it, wait a minute and restart WLMail. Select
a different folder in the Folder pane, then File > Exit again (still
working offline).

System Restore does not fix the problem.

1) It's a POP3 Server
2) Re-indexing of the database (per the below) doesn't seem to fix the
problem.
3) System Restore " " " "
4) Only my user account in WLMail is screwed up. Other users on the same
computer aren't having any problems.

Also, if I exit WLMail and try to restart it, nothing happens. I have to
reboot to get back in WLMail.
