Re: Errors in Outlook Express since Windows Update April 2007

Is it certain the Windows Update caused it?
I uninstalled the last 4 updates and still have this problem also.
Re-configuring Nortons will probably not change anything, the actual
cause is more mysterious.
Just a couple of weeks ago a Windows update caused an error with Realtek
sound software,
Microsoft gave a fix for it.

1. Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

<paste>
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
that are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect
scans incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email
and email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of
this. To make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection,
keep Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you
have the most recent virus definitions.

2. If no joy, your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its the
default Main Identity. Leaving Email Protection disabled, try one or more
of your mail accounts in a new Named Identity (File > Identities > Add new
identity). Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old
identity, (2) import messages from the old identity into the new one, and
then (3) delete the old one (File > Identities > Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in future:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [not available in SP2] and frequently
perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More
at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

following
problem. When I start my PC and log-in to a user Outlook Express works
fine. But when I log out and log-in to a different user Outlook Express
fails with error "Protocol POP3, Port. 110, Secure (SSL): No, Socket
Error:
10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E". If I re-startmy PC then again Outlook
Express works for the first user only.

Any help greatly appreciated
