For most versions of the Norton antivirus program, just
uninstalling it often fails to eliminate the problems it causes in
Windows Mail, due to its rather poor uninstall program.
You often need to run this cleanup program after the
uninstall:

You may then need to remove your email account under
Windows Mail, then restart Windows Mail and add the
account again.
If this doesn't cure your problem, wait a while and try to
connect again, in case the mail servers are down.
If this cures your problem, you may want a replacement
antivirus program that doesn't cause such problems in
Windows Mail. Most versions of the McAfee antivirus
program and a recent version of the Trend antivirus
program are bad choices; they are the other two of the
three antivirus programs that cause the most problems
in Windows Mail. I recommend either avast! or AVG,
either one with a custom install where you tell it to leave
out the parts that scan email.
