Reading/connecting to Newsgroups/servers
I find connecting to the above news server come up with above error
message.
However, after trying for more than 10 minutes, it finally does connect
and newsgroup messages then download fine.

This is unusual since I had no problem connecting to news servers before.
I have not installed any new programs for more than 30 days.
I've checked/changed: Antivirus settings/Security settings/Parental
control/Add-on controls/etc.
My ISP says all news servers are working fine on their side ......

Anyone / Network specialists .....Please help.

Some antivirus programs cause assorted problems in Windows
Mail, although seldom immediately. You might want to check if
that one offers you the choice of disabling scanning of newsgroups
and email, and it so, select the option which disables it. If that
doesn't help, see if you have the option of disabling the entire
antivirus program, and if so, check if it helps to disable it before
you start Windows Mail.
