Why has a Norton Update blocked Outlook Express?

Norton Internet Security now makes my OE server seem as if its not responding thanks to an update...

Ah, i have had that before a few times. Pain in the arse that one. Only way i could fix it was to download a file from Symantec that resets Norton Internet Security and you have to go back through your progs to block/allow them again

And OE, for that matter

Dump Norton and OE?

Would suggested replacements offer marginal functional gains yet internet prestige ownage?

I have had the same problem just appear with norton IS2005 and outlook....did you manage to fix this?

I had the same problem yesterday infact.

All i did was add my mail URL's eg. pop3.blueyonder.co.uk and smtp.blueyonder.co.uk to nortons network trusted list and it clears it

Dont know what mail you are using so cant say what yours would be. But i think your problem is with internet security if you have it?
