| | Re: The Connection to the server has failed... There is no such thing as "Norton and McAfee conventions" unless you mean incompetence. Norton and McAfee programmers are constantly making mistakes, year in and year out, which those of us who have worked in this industry for many years know only too well. Here is just an example of their latest screw-ups: McAfee: http://helpme.att.net/article.php?item=11258 Norton: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Syman...ss-73135.shtml -- Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM] "Snapple" <Snapple@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:144FEC10-4660-4A30-9149-19A940B57CFB@xxxxxx Quote: > McAfee and Norton existed before VISTA.

| | Re: The Connection to the server has failed... I also had the same problem and am running Trend Micro Virus protection. Can you tellme specifically where to go in it to turn off the spam email filter? Also, Did you re-enable it after you set up the Windows email client, or did you leave it off. If "off", do you get much spam? "Jessica" wrote: Quote: > I don't have either of those running on my computer, I have Trend Micro > PC-Cillin.

| | Re: The Connection to the server has failed... A recent version of the Trend antivirus software (details not available) also causes various problems in Windows Mail, although seldom immediately, and must be uninstalled (not just disabled) to stop it from causing these problems. You may wish to replace it with another antivirus program. I recommend either avast! or AVG for home use, either one with a custom install that tells it to leave out the part that scans email, or NOD32 for business use. http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/0?prd=aff http://www.eset.com/ "bgkimmie" <bgkimmie@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:0CD394BE-27D8-4791-88E7-527E40D15425@xxxxxx Quote: >I also had the same problem and am running Trend Micro Virus protection. >Can > you tellme specifically where to go in it to turn off the spam email > filter? > Also, Did you re-enable it after you set up the Windows email client, or > did > you leave it off.

| | Re: The Connection to the server has failed... You mention "my outlook". Is that really the name of your email program? We can't offer support for Outlook in this forum since we only support Windows Mail here.
