Vista - Receiving POP3 messages problem- Windows Mail/ Outlook 2007/ Windows Live Mail

Receiving POP3 messages problem- Windows Mail/ Outlook 2007/ Windows Live Mail

I am using an ACER 5630 laptop with 2G RAM and running Vista Home Premium.

I have an upto date copy of McAfee running on the machine which is enabled
for eMail (+other) protection

My normal POP3 client is Windows Mail and has worked perfectly since I
bought the machine 6 months ago.

Last week, I started having a symptom where a message appeared to get
"stuck" during the receive synchronisation. The first 3 of 7 would
download, then the server would timeout whilst waiting for the fourth and
so on. The effect of re-trying to synchronise is that I get duplicates of
the messages that will download, but the original problem remains. I
extend the timeout on Windows Mail to 5 minutes, but it still times out on
a specific message.

I tried using Outlook 2007 but similar symptoms - some messages get left on
the server

I tried Windows Live Mail same symptoms.

Given that some messages download and some don't, the client config must be
OK, and I'd assume McAfee is OK too - so where do I look for the problem?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Steve

If you keep McAfee, sooner or later Windows Mail will break again.
Mark my words.
