Bob,
This is strictly my opinion.
Years ago I decided Norton was not for me.
Probably Norton is using its default settings which are interfering with
Outlook Express.
My advise is, go to Nortons web site and download the software to uninstall
it, then use your favored utilities, if they are compatible with your
operating system (which you did not specify).

Subject: [PCSOFT] Norton Internet Security Question

About a month ago I bought a Lenovo T61 laptop that comes with Norton
Security.  I've built al my desktops myself and always install AVG, Windows
Defender, Spybot and Zone Alarm Free as my safeguards so I thought I would
not configure the Norton on it's prompt and instead install those others in
order to save the cost of the subscription fee.  Everything has worked out
fine as far as internet access goes, however I can not connect to any of my
e-mail IP's using OE with this setup.  I just called IBM and their advice
was to configure the Norton and dump the other software OR to remove the
Norton.  But then they hedged by saying they're not really responsible, that
it's a a Norton problem or a Microsoft problem and I should contact them.
So my question is, should I capitulate and setup the Norton that came with
the laptop and dump the AVG etc.?
