The OE on my home desktop will not connect to my email server. I just keep
getting time out messages. It will connect to my server if I run Windows in
Safe Mode with Networking.

Should I unistall and reinstall OE on my desktop, or can I fix this without
doing that?

Reinstalling probably won't help anything. Please post the error message in
its entirety.

Okay, the error message is as follows:

Your POP3 has not responded in 60 seconds. Would you like to wait another
60 seconds for the server to respond?

Account: Hughesnet User
Server: mail.hughes.net

No matter how long I wait, it will not connect to the server, unless I am in
Safe Mode, then it will work.

This issue has only come up in the last couple of days, it was working fine
til then.

What program (process) is not running in Safe Mode?
Are you scanning email for spam or viruses?

If I restart Windows in "Safe Mode with Networking", OE will connect with
the server properly.

Hi Jimbo,

You might try using msconfig to trouble shoot the problem.

Example of msconfig can be found here........
http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/

Go into msconfig, disable all startup items, restart computer.

Does this fix the problem? if so, the problem is with one of those startup
items.

This is usually caused by an anti-spam program or an anti-virus set to scan
email.

Turn off email scanning in your anti-virus. It provides no added
protection. After doing so it may be necessary to reset the server names in
OE.

The Other E-Mail Threat: File Corruption in Outlook Express
Published: November 18, 2004

Email scanning slows down Sending and Receiving, sometimes enough that OE
times out. Since some of the received messages have large (often virus)
attachments, which exasperates the problem.
Some Comcast users have found it necessary to totally uninstall Norton and
switch to the free AVG with mail scanning off. Norton invented email
scanning and here's what they say:

"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."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...256c7500723cf0

"...your computer is protected if Auto-Protect is enabled. Auto-Protect
scans any incoming files, including email attachments, when the files are
saved to your hard drive."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01100907323806

"NAV provides multiple layers of protection. Email scanning is just one of
those layers. Even if you are not running Email Scanning, your computer is
protected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments by NAV
Auto-Protect. Auto-Protect will scan any incoming files, including email
attachments, as they are saved to your hard drive. 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."

So Symantec used to say this often and clearly. The newer stuff doesn't
have the statement included as it was considered an embarrassment. If you
know anyone who programs for Norton try to get them to talk about it.

Start a new message with your problem.
Outlook and Outlook Express are two different programs.
