I have downloaded McAfee Antivirus and it works great but now I can only
send emails but not receive them. Any suggestions? McAfee said I should
contact Outlook, so they are of no help.
Thank you!
 
What error do you get when you try? You can safely disable the McAfee
integration with Outlook. There is no way that virusses can be executed
automatically when working with Outlook 2002 and 2003 or applied the updates
for Outlook 2000 and previous version. Even when you open a virus infected
e-mail by mistake the on access scanner of McAfee will kick in. Basically
the mail scanner is just overhead ;-)

I'm not sure how to disable the McAfee integration. How do you do that?
Thank you!

Look in the menus of the anti-virus program or uninstall it and reinstall it
without that option.
