I am getting 'failure to connect to [mail server]'
on pressing the Send and Receive All button.

It doesn't make sense.
It happens after I log off and then log on.
I am the only user, and I have administrator rights.
Otherwise mail still works, I just cannot log off then log on.
It has only been happening for the past two days.

The last thing I did with Windows XP was install 4 security updates
that came together.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling all related software, OE6,
software modem, updates.

What actually changes on relogging in? It is the same user before and
after, me.

Thanks.

Are you talking about the Logoff on the Windows Start menu?

What do you have to do to get e-mail working again?

The full text of the error message would be helpful. That includes the
server name, server type, port number, socket error code, SSL, etc. For
best results, copy/paste the error message rather than retyping it. You
should be able to highlight the message text in the error window (hold
down the left mouse button while dragging the mouse over the text).
Then press Ctrl-C (hold down the Ctrl key while pressing the C key) to
copy the highlighted text to the Windows clipboard. You can then paste
that text into the problem description using the Ctrl-V key combination.

Is your anti-virus set to scan e-mail or are you using any-anti-spam
software? Either of those could cause the problem.

What type of Internet connection do you have? Dial-up, DSL, cable,
etc.?

What do you have in OE at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Connection?

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.labyrinth.net.au',
Server: 'mail.labyrinth.net.au', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I do use Nortons. I have tried it with Norton Internet Security disabled,
and autoprotect disabled
and it makes no difference.
When the mail connection does work, changing Nortons makes no difference
also.
It is set to scan email. I tried switching it off, but it made no
difference.

Dial-up connection.

All I have unusual is a script that is used for LAN connections in IE. I
switch
off the automatically use script option and it makes no difference.

My other settings aren't anything special as far as I can tell, POP3, the
right
mail server there. It was working okay a few days ago.

I tried to notice anything different in processes running between relogging
in.
I found that a Java Collaboration Server was running before and then
disappearing
after relogging in. I have set it to manual start now, so it is usually not
running at all,
but this has made no difference.

With Norton it is often not enough to "disable" Norton because that never
really disables all of it. It is sometimes necessary to totally uninstall
it.

Also turn off any anti-spam program.

There is no way to tell how Nortons causes my problem, uninstalling it, it
did go away. Nothing I switched off made any difference.

But also, the icons in the system tray load better, on re-installing, which
shows it had gotten messy.

Avast if you want a free one, NOD32 if you want to pay.

Do not send mail.

Frank I had responded to you in a different steam previously;however, now i
have fixed the problem. I resolved my problem by working through an online
MS utility that validated the installation of the MS Genuine advantage tool.
It found an error with the installation of the MS office validation active X
controls. I let the web based utility correct the error. I also reinstalled
the recently installed Windows Media 11 player. Not sure which was the
solution but the problem is resolved and Norton is up and running just fine
and had nothing to do with the issue. I am running Norton Internet security
2006 with Spam filtering and AV as well as Norton system works Premier 2003.
As I suspected neither of the Norton products had anything to do with the
problem so I suggest you stop advising people to disable Norton and look a
little closer to home (ie Redmond).

Answer in newsgroup. Don't expect an answer to email.

Just my two cents:

Norton is a third party program and must adjust to MS, not the other way
around.

Norton may not have been the answer to your problem, but Norton products are
responsible for so many OE problems such as wiping out entire files and
folders, changing server settings, disrupting mail server connections and
much more.

E-mail scanning does cause many problems as well, and is not needed
regardless of what AV program you use.

If you think that some of us are too eager to blame Norton for problems in
OE, it's because it is so very common.

As you know, none of us work for MS and are all volunteers in these
newsgroups.

As for myself, I occasionally have someone I know ask for help with an OE
problem and they ask me to come to their home. If they are using Norton, or
McAfee, I tell them that I will help them if they let me get them another AV
that works well with OE, such as NOD32, Avast, or AVG. If they don't agree,
and insist that Norton is great, then I tell them to find someone else. And
that would include my mother if she had a computer.

I will not waste my time helping anyone with and OE problem that is using
Norton, or McAfee and refuses to consider that those programs are gods and
couldn't possibly be the cause.

You WILL have troubles with Norton. Uninstall it and install Avast (free).
