Weird:
Had Outlook 2k SR1, installed Norton Firewall then Norton
System Works 2003. Everything worked fine for a while.
Then eventually, I discovered an increasingly larger
percentage of Emails never actually made it out of the
outbox, even though the outbox said they were sent.
KNowing the Norton Antivirus part of System works
intercepted the outgoing E-Mail, scanned it, then sent it
on its way, I eventually came to the realization that it
must be that software. I uninstalled both the system works
and firewall. Support from Norton was guesses non of which
seemed relevent.
Now it gets weirder:
Once removed, Outlook began sending mail again. (Anyone
know how hard it is to track outbound E-Mails!!) HOWEVER:
now it wouldn't receive any E-Mails. And, Emails that are
resent or forwarded, now have an error that says it can't
find the server, would I like to use the default, I say
yes, and away it goes. New Mail goes straight away.
Outlook with no receive capabilities is almost a waste of
time, especially after all the time it took to get
everything set up correctly. The server setup (POP & SMTP)
is triple checked for accuracy. Now I uninstall Office,
and then reinstall office. Same. Again, with full reboots,
NAda.
So to get going I set up Outlook Express, (I Hate OE) and
bingo works first time. I now receive on OE the often
copy the email to Outlook to send unless its simple.
This is how it is now.
Obviously I think that Norton changed something in the
outlook I can't find, services are set up OK. My guess is
its something in, the Reg. I have the instructions to
ensure Norton has uninstalled correctly and the registers
were OK. I don't think it changed whatever it does to
Outlook, back to normal again, and as it persists even
with a full reinstall after uninstall of Office, I am
close to appoplexy. Can't really fault Outlook (I guess)
but does anyone have any ideas, or is my only alternative
to I find another outlook type of program like Open Office?
Thanx
