I am running WINDOWSxp sp2 and installedAVG from their website and I
removedthe e-mail part 2 weeks after installation

I don't think Windows Security Center will be satisfied with AVG in
that configuration. Recommend uninstalling AVG and then reinstalling
via Custom Install and choosing not to install the Email Scanner.

before that I used norton but that was approx. 3 years ago.

Norton applications are notorious for uninstalling cleanly and so
causing problems like you've described. (You did uninstall it, right?)
Can you tell me what version of Norton AntiVirus is was (e.g., NAV
2003)?

I get error 0x800CCC78 MESSAGE now

Post the complete (verbatim) error message.

Did you try the account in a new Named Identity?

Please include all of previous message(s) in your replies to the
newsgroup.

Windows version? Did you just install AVG? Did you choose a custom
install of AVG without the email scanning part? What anti-virus
application did you have before you installed AVG?

Your current Identity may have been damaged by AVG or a previous
install of an anti-virus application, especially if its the default
Main Identity. Try one or more of your accounts in a new Named
Identity (File Identities Add new identity). Assuming all is
well,
import messages from the old Identity before deleting it (File
Identities Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to
local folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform
a
manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your
machine
if Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also
cause
such corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

I have removed and re-installed the the mail account
but still no luck.

I do not have any e-mail scanner just normal anti virus on my
computer so what else can it be. Ken

What anti-virus do you have?
Are you sure it is not set to scan email?
