What program (process) is not running in Safe Mode?
Are you scanning email for spam or viruses?

Okay, the error message is as follows:

Your POP3 has not responded in 60 seconds. Would you like to wait
another
60 seconds for the server to respond?

Account: Hughesnet User
Server: mail.hughes.net

No matter how long I wait, it will not connect to the server, unless I

am
in
Safe Mode, then it will work.

This issue has only come up in the last couple of days, it was working
fine til then.

Reinstalling probably won't help anything. Please post the error

The OE on my home desktop will not connect to my email server. I just
keep getting time out messages. It will connect to my server if I run
Windows in Safe Mode with Networking.

Should I unistall and reinstall OE on my desktop, or can I fix this
without doing that?
