This post is made to help others solve this issue, based on my
experience.
Symptom:
- Outlook works perfectly well when Norton Anti-Virus e-mail
protection is disabled
- Outlook cannot retrieve incoming messages when NAV e-mail protection
is enabled, message being: pop3 server not found, error 0x800ccc0d
This symptom, and possible solutions, are exactly the object of
Symantec support note:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/2000020716064206
Please read this note first ! The object of this post is to add
another possible solution to this problem.
NAV email protection sets up a proxy server. For that, it need to add
this line of text to the file "hosts" in Windows system directory:
127.0.0.1 pop3.norton.antivirus # Added by Norton AntiVirus for
e-Mail scanning
However, adding this line to "hosts" obviously REQUIRES THE FILE
"hosts" NOT BE WRITE-PROTECTED (ie, not be read-only).
If the file "hosts" is read-only, the required text cannot be added to
"hosts", the proxy server will not be setup, and NAV e-mail protection
will cause Outlook not to retrieve e-mails.
Under NT4, the file "hosts" is in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc , a
Find will reveal its location on your own system.
Finding and changing the attribute (read-only etc...) of "hosts" can
be done from NT Explorer or whatever you use to explore your files.
Hope this helps.
