A problem occurred while trying to open this message, a problem occurred please try again later

Hi, I am getting the error " A problem occurred whilst trying to open this message, a problem occurred please try again later".

I have tried the defrag option on the message store, done a clean install of WLM and tried the repair option from control panel, but nothing seems to work. Strangely, this started to happen in one folder when no matter which message I selected, the same message opened up ! Once I deleted this message, I was unable to access any other messages. If I import the messages into Outlook, the open with no errors !

I would be grateful for some help on this as it is driving me nuts ! 

Thanks

Will Atkins

    Hi,

    Thanks for your swift response. In answer to your questions:

    1. I am unaware of any changes to my laptop. However, periodically it gets rebuild as it is a company machine and updates are installed in the background. I have had the problem for some time. Originally it was only one email directory that was affected. Every time I opened a message in that directory, it opened the same message, regardless of which one I chose. Now it seems to be every directory.
    2. I think I configured my email accounts automatically as the system seemed to recognise the providers. I have 4 accounts, 2 of which are pop3, 1 is IMAP and the hotmail account does not seem to be either !
    3. I am using Version 2012 (Build 16.4.3528.0331)

    I hope this helps !

    Thanks

    Will

    Hi,

    Thank you for getting back to us and for the information you have provided.

    I understand that you're still having problems opening your emails and unable to create a new user profile in your laptop. For further isolation, we need to ask further information:

    • Do you recall any changes in your account or computer before this happened?
    • How did you configure your account in Windows Live Mail? Are you using the automatic configuration (delta sync), POP3 or IMAP?
    • What version of Windows Live Mail are you using?

    Hope to hear from you soon.

    Thank you.
