Send & Receive problem after Outlook XP SP3 applied

[Tim Pollard]

Hi

I did a very silly thing last week. I applied Win XP SP2, Office XP
SP3 and upgraded from Norton AntiVirus 2003 to Norton Internet
Security 2005 all in the same day.

All is more-or-less OK except that after Outlook has been open for a
while, it experiences a send & receive problem, with all accounts
reporting a timeout whilst waiting for the server. As I have four pop3
accounts to check on several different servers, it suggests that this
problem is not at the server end. It always works fine for a while (20
mins to half a day) and will send & receive fine, but eventually I
always get this message. When it happens, that is it for send and
receive, the only cure I have found is to reboot - just restarting
Outlook doesn't do it.

Having applied all three changes the same day I don't know which
change caused the problem - and any one of the three might do it.

I also have the problem that NIS is configured not to scan outgoing
email - yet it still does. Wierd!

Anyone else had a simlar experience after applying any (or all) of the
three changes?

Thanks
