Norton can continue to screw up OE even if you remove it from Add/Remove
Programs.
To remove Norton completely:

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.

I have a problem also I can receive e-mails but can't send any. If I try to
send an e-mail I get the same error as you. I uninstalled Norton Internet
security but still can't send. I have been online with Norton and my
Internet
provider, but no answer as why.

Hi
When i start my pc up & recieve mail to Mailwasher, process it & then
start
up OE mail programme & then click 'send/recieve', i get a 'connection to
server failed' & Error Number 0X800 CCCOE.
If i firstly go to webmail & delete all junk, then return to OE, i don't
get
this!
I have deleted my default mail connection & recreated one for pop & smtp
&
all is fine there, it's just this Error Number & predominantly this
happens
when i first turn on pc & access mail from Mailwasher to OE.
Any help appreciated
