Bruce:

Thanks a bunch...I got into my Norton AV, turned off the incoming email
scanning, and now I'm back in business with OE.

I know that I am near the bottom rung of the ladder in computer literacy
among those who come to this Microsoft Support thing for help.. I do want to
thank all of you for your continued help

That is the entire message? No error numbers? Try this:

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

When I click on my OE icon from the desktop, I get into the Inbox ok.
But,
when I click on Send/Receive, this is what comes up: "Connecting to
incoming
verizon.net"
- Connected - under Task, I see Check for new messageson incoming ver----
with the status shown as executing.

After a minute looking at this error message, another comes up: Your POP3
server has not responded in 60 seconds...would you like to wait another 60
seconds for the server to respond?

Below this, I see Account: incoming verizon.net and Server: incoming
verizon.net and then I have a choice of Wait, or Stop.

I hope the above is helpful and I appreciate your reply.

I have been using OE. Now I can't get new messages into my Inbox.
Verizon
(ISP)
tells me this is an OE issue. I can get messages in Verizon's e mail
site,
but I want
to continue to use OE. In OE, I get an error message about POP3, etc.
Where do I start to fix this? Thanks for the help
