You don't say what type of connection you have, dial-up,DSL or cable.
Until recently, I was using NAV with Outlook Express and a dial-up connection. Norton was scanning both incoming and outgoing e-mail with no problems and no error messages. However, I did make sure that my server timeouts slider was set to "long." If you have not yet done this, I suggest you give it a try.
(In Outlook Express, select: Tools> Accounts> Mail tab> Properties> Advanced tab Then move server timeouts slider all the way to the right. Select "apply," select "OK.")
Heres the deal. If I enable virus scanning for both incoming and outgoing e-mails using Norton Antivirus, I get an error message and Outlook Express wont complete the task. I contacted Comcast, My ISP and they said that Outlook Express and Norton Antivirus are having problems. They said to disable Antivirus so that e-mails would come through. But, that exposes my computer to viruses. Does anyone know of any workarounds for this. Or if I dont use Norton Anti Virus for my e-mails, are there other dependable, preferably free e-mail antivirus programs available?
