Make sure you're not scanning incoming and outgoing mail with a virus
scanner. You may need to uninstall and reinstall the AV without the
option to make it truly stop.

Why would email scanning cause the error, but rebooting fix
the problem? Email is being scanned in both cases. The system
is using Norton Internet Security 2006, by the way. I will try
turning off email scanning to see if it helps, but something
tells me it is not the cause.

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude
EML files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Outlook Express
and should be uninstalled.

Norton is *not compatible* with OE? You advise me to uninstall
my virus software and firewall? This seems a little drastic!
I will certainly see what happens when I disable email scanning,
but I'm not leaving the machine exposed to the net.
