I have just tried clicking on Send/Receive in Mail (Vista). Send/Receive is grayed out, so NOTHING happens. When I look at my accounts I find that there isn't one. I tried to re-create my account but am told that "An error has occurred...". I have contacted my service provider and am waiting for them to check my account at their end (nothing they suggested when I rang them worked.

Whenever I have a computer problem I look at what I have done SINCE the computer last worked properly. Today I used Revo UNINSTALLER to uninstall half a dozed programs I no longer use. Is it possible that while doing this I have inadvertently deleted a line(s) from the registry?Uhm try system restore(search for "system restore" in the start menu but first try an run as an administrator.

if this did not work tell me and ill have a propper look at itThanks tomfenty. I had the same idea after posting the problem (although I wasn't optimistic). I restored the system to a restore point created yesterday and, to my pleasant SURPRISE, it worked! I now have Mail BACK.
