authorisation fails for Outlook accounts -- Symantec fax problem?

[Allen_N]

I just installed the Symantec fax tool that cam with Outlook 2000, so that I
could send a message to a fax machine. Now, I cannot use any of my POP
accounts in Outlook.

I had the "Remember password" box checked for each account, and all of them
failed to authorise. Re-entering the passwords doesn't help.

I stopped using Symantec anti virus products because they kept messing up my
Outlook account settings. I wonder if this is the problem again -- but worse.
The settings look OK, so I have no idea what to try next.

Any suggestions?

Try it again with Symantec FAX SE disabled and you will soon find out.
What operating system is this on btw?

Thanks, Bill.

Try it again with Symantec FAX SE disabled and you will soon find out.

I was more worried about Symantec messing up Registry settings or DLLs, but
I'll try certainly your advice.

What operating system is this on btw?

Windows 2000.
