I use Norton internet security. In order to receive email from my POP3 server
in Outlook express or Outlook, I have to turn OFF the firewall in Norton.
This only started happening a few months ago. I am wondering if there was an
update to Nortons or the Outlook programs which causes this problem? If so,
how is it corrected without turning off the firewall and putting my computer
at risk??
I had a similar problem with a POP3 account and was able to get around
it by going into Norton's firewall settings and making the pop3
address a trusted site. ie"pop3.*****.net" If it is the best way to
handle the problem, I don't know.

I had used this pop3 account for years without listing it as a trusted
address in Norton's. I don't have any idea as to why it changed.
