Vista - Can't Send or get e-mail w/ Mcafee ANSWER

Here is what I found worked for me.
I post this in hope to help others in the same situation that took me some
time to figure out.
I don't care if you do not like Mcafee or Norton, your answers to Just
"uninstall" does not really solve anyones problem, it only allows you to vent
- Keep it to yourself.
And for the poor souls that follow such ill advice where will these jokers
be when your system is infected and crashes?
So I truly hope that the following information will help a few people out
there.

1. Open Windows mail
> 2. Click on the "Tools" button.
> 3. Select "Accountants"
> 4. Remove all accountants but your own.
> 5.Fully install Mcafee (add deleted options). or reinstall it.
> 6.Restart computer.
> 7. Repeat steps 1-3
> 8. With "Accountants" window open Select the "Properties" button.
> 9. Check off box: "Include this accountant when recieving mail or
> synchronizing".
> 10. Next click the "Servers" tab next to the "General" tab.
> 11. Delete and fill in your "E-mail username" & "Password"
> 12. Next Check off the box: My server requires Authentication"
> 13. Now you can click the "Settings..." button.
> 14. Select "log on using"
> 15. Fill in your "E-mail username & Password" the same as step 11.
> 16. Check off "Remember password" Box.
> 17. Hit OK.
> 18. Restart computer.
> 19. DONE!
> I have found this to be more a problem with the internet provided. My Mcafee

There is no need to use JUNK like McAfee or Norton. They will cause
problems with your system, slow it down, eat up resources, etc... Install
AVG Free, or Avast, they work well with Vista. Don't worry about
uninstalling Norton or Mcafee. IT will be the best thing for your system.
Install a REAL antivirus system and never look back.
