I turned off scanning outbound mail because it steals "the system focus"
differently than any other program I have ever used... (Very annoying...)

FWIW: I use several different places to send POP3 mail. All need very different
settings (including different ports, and - with and with-out verification).
Sometimes one of the vendors changes the required settings and then tries to
fake (or re-direct) things so "we users" do not have to fix up things on our end...
(That only works for so long before causing trouble...) You might want to go
over your settings with a fine toothed comb...

Have you run the two(?) cleaners that Symantec has for their products?
When Norton runs, it runs well, but when it breaks it can be quite a chore
to get it "right" again...  I guess this is because it works SO low in the
OS and maybe goes where MS does not document too well... <grin>...
