Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Yesterday I installed a new copy of Norton's antivirus, installation went
without trouble. I then tried to recieve email and got the above message. I
couldn't find any solution and it had gotten late or shall I say early in the
morning. During the night I thought of something that might have caused the
error, but before doing anything I tried to recieve mail, much to my surprise
it came in.. it worked all day until about 9PM today and the message
reappeared... Now nothing is working..IE no recieve or sending of mail...
I've turnied off email scans, nothing... Any help?..

Have you checked the "fuse" web page for correct IMAP settings. Somehow you
are using IMAP with pop settings. Choose either pop or IMAP.

Norton antivirus is among the top three troublemakers for Windows Mail.
First, be sure to disable its email scanning. If that does not cure the
problem, do a trial uninstall, followed by using their debris removal tool:

Instead of uninstalling your antivirus, another option is to upgrade to
Windows Live Mail, which is more resistant to the adverse effects of overly
intrusive antivirus products: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

In any case you must disable antivirus email scanning, for the reason
