I am wondering if it has anything to do with SP2...I did install THAT but everything was working fine until the latest Norton update...I even deleted and reinstalled but it just won't clear the mail..keeps disconnecting..I can't get mail that way..so I deleted Norton again...too much pain. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Wilcox" <dsw32952@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 5:06 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: OE problems since newest Norton update ----- Original Message ----- From: " milady" <kg6ocz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "pctecktalk" <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 5:41 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- OE problems since newest Norton update Wonder if anyone else is having this--I downloaded the latest Norton and update and instantly I get cutoffs during downloads with OE and refusal to send multipule mails..I get cut off..and a popup notice from Norton that OE shut down--reload OE and resend..????????Anyone else got this? ml * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * No, but I frequently get a dialog box saying OE has malfunctioned and needs to close. After allowing the report to be sent to M$, I click on the info button and get told the problem is caused by Norton's Anti-virus and there is no known fix. Also, one time my email server failed at the beginning of the upload and the NAV proxy dumped all the messages and told me if I still wanted to send them to go to the SENT items and folder and resend them... a real pain since there was over 60 messages and OE does not have a RE-send button. Needless to say I only scan inbound mail now. Check your Norton configuration... depending on the software package you are using there may be an option to protect against disconnects. Not sure where it is, but I have it activated, though with an always on internet connection it probably doesn't do anything. Don -- In the past I have heartily recommended www.Unlimited-mail.com as an excellent paid email service with superior customer support. Unfortunately, I can no longer do that. Apparently they have grown too large to continue providing customer service like they used to. E-mails to their support department have gone unanswered for weeks at a time. Also, the email server suffers from frequent problems that last as little as a few minutes to as much as several days. I would strongly encourage everyone to consider alternative email services... especially the new Google mail which is rolling out free POP/SMTP access for their members. No more bounces!
