Why do you insist on persisting with McAfee since its very clear that it is
causing the problem?

1) It is free for 90 days.
2) McAfee Sr. Tech. says they are working on finding a root cause if it
turns out to be in their system. MS Techs. say they are at least aware
something is going on.
3) My new Gateway Vista system is working great, port access is stable on my
network for file sharing & I don't want to introduce the potential for new
issues to have to spend time studying & fixing if I install CA suite now. If
the stuck outbox header comes back a 3rd time, it now only takes a few
minutes to correct - down from an hour.
4) I need something & McAfee is the least resistance so might as well be it.
5) I would debate that it is really "very clear" that McAfee is the cause of
the problem, I've discovered no facts or reasoning pointing to any
identifiable root cause & I spent many hours researching it. Intermittent
issues are the toughest.

McAfee has a long long history of messing up OE and now WinMail.

McAfee and Norton are both incompatible with have a well functioning
installation of any version of Windows released in this century.

I'm sorry Frank. I couldn't understand your response.

I also have the free McAfee on my brand new Dell with Vista Home Premium and
have had the same problem. I did a temporary fix until it (probably)
reoccured. What Virus program do you recommend for use with Vista. ????

<<McAfee..has history of messing up OE and now WinMail.>>

Steve (and Frank) - So noted. I have a very short history w/McAfee having
used CA's stuff in the past. I'd just like to note no other McAfee issues
(internet access, network or e-mail) have cropped up past the simple stuck
outbox header that is now easily remedied and may even turn out not to be
McAfee's issue, who knows.

I didn't have to change a single setting in McAfee out of the box - all the
changes out of the box were in WinVista or XP. THAT was aggravating way more
than McAfee. I have a pretty plain jane home network. My expectations:
Vista should have been plug & play but it certainly was not.

I have the free version of AVG on one machine, and it's doing well.
I am also evaluating another antivirus program which is free for one year:

You can certainly install McAfee and use it if you want. I won't let it
near any of my machines and the same applies to Norton / Symantec products.

I don't know what part you couldn't understand.

NOD32, or if you want a decent free one, Avast or AVG.
Whatever you use, do a custom install and don't include email scanning.
