I have already posted this to my ISP (zen), but thought this group might
help.
Problem:
********
I am moving my mail from this computer to another.
Both are on XP PRO and I have succesfully transferred messages and have set
up the new computer exactly as this one but I can't get it to work.
I have examined the original instructions you gave with passwords etc. and I
cannot see anything wrong.
When I try to receive mail I get:

The server responded with an error. Account: 'Mailhost.zen.co.uk', Server:

Please help. I have gone to a lot of work to transfer and I would not like
to go back.

Since then, I find there is no problem SENDING emails.
I have tried everything to delete OE completely, through "Add/remove windows
components" and from Explorer but to no avail. When using Explorer I am
getting the message that someone/some program is using OE. I have emptied my
system tray and deleted VSmon.exe (zoneAlarm) and still can't clear it.

If I could find a way to delete OE completely, I am quite happy to start
from scratch as I have safeguarded the messages folder.

On recollecting, I think I know how this problem may have arisen. A few
nights back when I was downloading software, I got a failure which invited
me to send an email. Unusually it had to go through my email system and I
think I quoted the in and out servers as POP3 rather than
mailhost.zen.co.uk. There was something that wasn't right anyway. Is it
possible that some program somewhere is holding on to OE? This is why I am
happy to start from scratch if I could get rid of the present OE.
Thanks
PS I have just successfully used OE in my Media Center without problem.
These computers are all set up the same way.

Hi Tony,

Are you using anti-virus message scan? This feature can, and often does,
cause connection errors. Normal system scan will still protect a PC. It is
sometimes necessary to re-enter account information after using message
scan.

Disable email scanning by AVG. 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.

Thanks all.
Everything OK now.
This time I removed AVG completely. Then built up OE again. and all OK.
Re-installed AVG WITHOUT email facilities.
