Robert,
My time out is set for two minutes, I have increased it from the one minute
default setting. When this thing acts up, it doesn't matter whether it is an
auto connect or a manual. I have manually tried to connect for as much as 4
hours before with no luck. I didn't have this problem until last week and I
have been using Norton AV and Norton Internet Security Pro since December.
As for time stamps, The log I included shows when the program connects to
the server, but I don't know how to show the failing attempts. If you have
any info on that I would greatly appreciate it. POP.Viewmark will not admit
it is their problem. They tell me I am the only one experiencing this
problem with them.
Thanks,
Brian
