Scanning in or outgoing mail does no good, it can only cause problems.
You do not need this no matter what brand AV software you have. As long
as the regular AV software is running, you're covered.
[[The only real reason to use email and download scanning is to make you
feel more secure.]]
I use OE and AVG 7 and do not even have the E-mail Scanner installed, let
alone turned on.
The Other E-Mail Threat: File Corruption in Outlook Express

[[As surprising and ironic as it may seem though, the most common cause
of DBX corruption is not a virus, but rather anti-virus programs that are
configured to scan incoming or outgoing e-mail. Even the most well-known
anti-virus programs have exhibited this problem from time to time. ]]

[[Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
that are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect
scans incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including
email and email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top
of this. To make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum
protection, keep Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to
ensure that you have the most recent virus definitions.]]

Thank you Ricky. I already have the service update, but I am going to
try their suggestion for Norton. I'm not real secure in their
suggestion though.
:
There's some info about the error here..
http://www.domainavenue.com/support_oe6_0x800ccc19.htm
Update: I was looking, for the millionth time, at all the options,
account
properties, and I didn't touch anything. As a matter of fact, after
looking
I hit cancel instead of o.k. to make sure nothing would change.
Anyway, I hit cancel when I was done looking and I started to receive
email. I've been
at this since 4 am. I would still like anyone's opinion of what could
have
been happening. I was waiting for a "strange" email to come in and I
could
have said, oh, that's what did it. But everything was normal, no big
files,
nothing. And Norton was enabled.
:
OE timeout error just started happening this morning. I went into
options
and set the timeout to 5 minutes. Still can't receive email. I
totally disabled Norton Security, anti-virus, firewall, everything,
still can't receive mail. I can receive it from comcast's website.
And, the funny thing
is, I can also receive mail from my second identity through outlook
express.
I checked option for option, and account details and everything is
set exactly the same for both identities. I sent a test message to
myself and I
can send just fine. When I try to receive email it says:
A time-out occurred while communicating with the server. Account:
'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Port:
110,
Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19
I don't know what all you need, I'm using Outlook Express 6, Internet
Explorer, cable connection, WindowsXP, Norton Security (though I
disabled it
for the test)...
