Thanks for that.

I can't quite figure out how to do that, though.

It seems there is nothing in my firewall logs, and I can't see where it will
let me release an entire port with carte blanche... It seems to be
application-specific.

Anyone with KPF advice would be appreciated.

That turning off the firewall fixes the problem, suggests that it is
blocking the SMTP port 587 that AOL uses.

Try enabling that port to any program in the firewall. If that works,
then the firewall thinks that some other program is trying to do the
send. I don't know if its logs will show what. Possibly some remnant
of AVG is passing the outgoing messages even though it isn't trying to
scan them.

All of a sudden my Outlook Express can't send messages. I didn't
intentionally change any settings.

I use OE 6 with AOL (IMAP, not POP3).

I have discovered that if I turn OFF my firewall (Kerio Personal
2.1.5), the
outgoing message goes through.

This has only started happening in the last 24 hours.

I get the Socket Error 10053 and other error number 0x800CCC0F.
Googling
that points me to my AV (AVG), but turning Kerio on and off seems to
be what
gets results. Turning AVG on and off doesn't seem to make a
difference. (And
AVG is NOT set to scan outgoing messages!)

I have Outlook Express configured in KPF to any protocol, any port,
any
direction...

System Restore hasn't helped, either.

What's gigging?
