I have been using OE. Now I can't get new messages into my Inbox. Verizon

tells me this is an OE issue. I can get messages in Verizon's e mail site,

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.

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:

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

Bruce: Soon after writing my thanks to you, the problem returned.
I now have both incoming and outgoing email scanning in Norton AV turned
off, and still can't send or receive OE messages.

Just before I said thanks, I saw that my inbox then included all of the
backed up messages and I thought all was well, but now it's back to square
one. You mentioned more detail on error messages. I told you about the
first two messages. Now there is a third that comes up about being timed out:
this is it - "A time out occured while communicating with the server.
Account'incoming verizon.net'server
= 'incoming verizon.net' protocol POP3 port110, secure (SSL) No error
number 0X800CC19

I appreciate your staying with me on this one

Are you using a spam program? That can cause it as well.

In many cases, just turning off e-mail scanning isn't enough. You need to
uninstall the program and reinstall in Custom Mode and opt out of e-mail
scanning during the installation.

That said, you would be better served if you got rid of Norton completely.

I would suggest either Avast, (freeware), or NOD32, (not free).

In the case of Avast, choose Custom Installation and under Resident
Protection, uncheck: Internet Mail and Outlook/Exchange.

Norton, and McAfee, products are not Outlook Express friendly, and I don't
know of any OE-MVP that would recommend using them.

Avast:

NOD32:
