I have recently switched to DSL and it is now taking longer to send an email
than it did with dial up. My download and upload speed are fine and I receive emails as fast as I should. But I sent one that was 5449K long and it took 8 minutes to send. I am sure the problem is in Outlook Express but have been unable to find it. |

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection, it's probably causing the delay, it can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) 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. /paste http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...02111812533106 General OE Caveats: - Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages.

Do I have this correct; disable outgoing email scan in Norton? can this
speed up dial up?? PA Bear good ideal, if it is scanned coming in why do it going out. Thanks for the tip! Lyn "PA Bear" wrote in message ... Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application.

It can definitely speed up sending and receiving, and it is safe to disable
it. Turning off e-mail scanning will not leave you unprotected and even Symantec says so. From: http://snipurl.com/bmf6 Is my computer still protected against viruses if I disable Email Scanning?

together? Lyn "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ... It can definitely speed up sending and receiving, and it is safe to disable it.

Not *Mail*, Incoming and Outgoing e-mail *scanning*. It is just a redundant
layer of protection that was invented by Symantec to give the user a better sense of security that wasn't needed. It was just a selling point. All it accomplishes is to eat up CPUs and causes many problems. The most common are Time-outs, followed by an error message, that isn't resolved until e-mail scanning is turned off. I have never used it, period. -- Bruce Hagen MS MVP - Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "LipstickOnAChick" wrote in message ...
