I think you should remove Norton altogether. It terrorizes OE.

I use AVG Free:

or:

When prompted, choose Custom Installation and *uncheck* e-mail scanning when
you see the option.

Norton, and McAfee, products are not Outlook Express friendly, and I don't
know of any OE-MVP that would recommend using them.

disable it as Steve suggested?"

I THOUGHT I had, but when I checked, my Norton's was still (or again!)
scanning e-mail. After making CERTAIN that e-mail scanning was turned
off,
I tried removing the e-mail account, closing and opening OE, and then
adding
the account back again. I'm still unable to send or receive mail, and the
error message remains the same:

A time-out occurred while communicating with the server.
Account: 'pop3.knology.net', Server: 'pop3.knology.net',
Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19

Since my computer suddenly (and mysteriously) rebooted yesterday,
I've
been
unable to send or receive e-mail in Outlook Express. I've tried
rebooting
(again, and on purpose!), checked with my ISP to make sure settings
were
correct and that they had no server problems, but nothing seems to
help.

When I hit the "Send/Receive" button to check for new mail, I
eventually
get
a message that says:

Your POP3 server has not responded in 60 seconds.Would you like
to
wait
another 60 seconds for the server to respond?

Account: pop3.knology.net
Server: pop3.knology.net

If I try to send new mail, I get the same message, but with the
outgoing
mailserver instead.i

The ISP assures me this is NOT a problem with their servers, but is
instead
a problem with the IE program on my computer. What do I need to do
to
fix
whatever is wrong? (I can send and/or read new messages in
newsgroups
just
fine, only e-mail seems to have a problem.)

Thanks!



What is the complete error message?
