Gidday,Have you tried useing a different Virus checker as there could a conflict there somewhere.I'm not a big fan of Norton but that is my opinion.hope it helps.

I have used norton for about 2yrs;i've also used others;there does'nt seem to be much difference to me.I think the conflict could be in the utilities.What I have done is reinstalled nsw with the minimum setting. I will try this for a while and if this does'nt help will look at another company.thanxs

Try disabling all the Norton Utilities through the options button, leaving only antivirus running. Make sure in the Autoprotect all your email accounts are listed. Then reboot & try your email again.

If you have any other email utilities installed, such as Incredimail disable them also.
