Outlook Express locks up with Norton?

[stiej]

Hi,
far too often I cant send emails. The problem is that when sending an email, outlook express will return an error saying that "there are too many open concurrent smtp connections". This can sometimes be alleviated by changing the "from" account to one of my other email account stored in Tools->Accounts. Other times, the email will be sent by outlook express itself seccessfully to norton which then should check it before sending out of my comuter.At this point it has been known many times that the Norton email checking agent thing just locks up - despite that the email is nowin the "Sent" fodler of OExpress. Why do I get the "too many concurrent connections"? Why has it only happened in the last month or so? Why does it sometimes work flawlessy, regardlessly of which account I have sent from?

Open your norton antivirus and click on the options tab. Click the email tab on the left and uncheck the box that says 'Scan Outgoing email'. If this doesn't do it, post something back.

Hi,

thanks for your tip. The thing is though, I want my emails scanned on sending.
