Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

paste
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.

I'm switching from AOL to PeoplePC. I have 2 mail accounts setup in OE on
PeoplePC one of which I have no problem with, the other I can receive
email but get the following error when trying to send email:

"Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes
for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: PeoplePc Online, Server: SMTPauth.PeoplePc.com
Protocol: SMTP, Port 587, Secure (SSL): No,Error number 0x800ccc0f."

Both email accounts have identical settings except, of course, for account
names. I have checked the settings thoroughly for misspellings,
punctuation errors, etc. The computer is not networked. I have deleted
and resetup the offending account several times.

For 3 days PeoplePC has not responded to me regarding this issue.

Anyone know what the problem is and what I need to do to fix it?
