Timing out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server.

[RET]

I'm running Outlook 2003, w/SP2, on an hp Pavillion ze4610us, with Norton
Antivirus, over a PacBell DSL line. My Outlook program will not send or
recieve mail. I receive the following error message when I try to
send/receive: Task 'ISP' - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210A) : 'The
operation timed out waiting for a response from the receiving (POP) server.
If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or
Internet service provider (ISP).'

All my settings are correct, but when the Test Account Settings feature is
used, I receive the following two error messages: "Send test e-mail message:
The specified server was found but there was no response from the server.
Please verify that the port and SSL information is correct. To access these
settings close this dialog, then click More Settings and click on the
Advanced Tab." & "Log on to incoming mail server (POP3): The specified server
was found but there was no response from the server. Please verify that the
port and SSL information is correct. To access these settings close this
dialog, then click More Settings and click on the Advanced Tab."

Outlook was responding fine last week. All of a sudden, this error started
happening. I've increased the timeout feature to 3 minutes (was working fine
before on 1 minute). Still no improvement. Any suggestions

Did NAV update itself between then and now?

NAV did Update. I run the Live Update Feature. I've also noticed a similar
problem occurred with ZA on another post. I'm wondering if there's something
funking in the update. NAV updates again on Wednesday. I tried turning off
the Internet security, but It requires a password, & I never established one,
so it refuse my commands to turn off. To say this is annoying is an
understatement!

If I were in your shoes, I'd uninstall NAV and reinstall it without the mail
scanning feature.

You know, I may have to do that. The update released today didn't improve the
problem. Thanks for checking back.
