I've had issues with Zonealarm in the past. That's probably the issue if the email still works. It can bloat up after a long period of use. Installing a different firewall solved my issues. My parents had issues with Zonealarm as well.

Zonealarm seems like a possibility.

Of the three security programs I was running, Spybot, Zonealarm
and AVG, Spybot was the one that I could most easily and safely
dispense with. So I uninstalled that first.

However I have now bitten the bullet and uninstalled Zonealarm.
If nothing fails for at least two weeks, I'll believe that was
it and look for an alternative firewall. If it does fail I
may take a chance and uninstall AVG.

If _that_ doesn't work, I'll try wharf rat's suggestion to reset
the tcp/ip and winsock registry records using the netsh commands
he described.

Thank you for your reply.

You can still use the Windows Firewall that's built in. Not very robust, but it's available.
