The POP account is likely using port 25 for sending which is why that
isn't affected.

I don't know how you can get your firewall to allow port 587.

I should also add that I use OE with a POP account on it as well... And
it
still sends the POP messages, then times out on the IMAPs. Both
RECEIVE OK.

(Because I was thinking I'd just force KPF to overlay onto port 587
instead
of "any" port... But then that would jam up the POP.)

I also have removed all traces of AVG from KPF's filtering rules, to
no avail.

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.

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?
