I think the start of the error and installing critical updates were merely
coincidental, at least as far as OE and Windows are concerned.

Thank you I will try this though it does seem very strange that this
problem
has only occured since I applied the Windows Security fixes. I thought
that
you were going to advise the removal of these fixes to see if this cured
the
problem.

1. Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection 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.

2. If no joy, your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the
default Main Identity. Leaving Email Protection disabled, try one or
more
of your mail accounts in a new Named Identity (File Identities Add
new
identity). Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old
identity, (2) import messages from the old identity into the new one, and
then (3) delete the old one (File Identities Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [not available in SP2] and frequently
perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More
at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

I run Windows XP with Norton Internet Security 2006. I have multiple
accounts under Windows. Since Security fixes KB930178, KB931261,
KB931784,
932168 have been installed on my PC I have been experiencing the
following
problem. When I start my PC and log-in to a user Outlook Express works
fine. But when I log out and log-in to a different user Outlook Express
fails with error "Protocol POP3, Port. 110, Secure (SSL): No, Socket
Error:
10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E". If I re-startmy PC then again Outlook
Express works for the first user only.

Any help greatly appreciated
