    Sending and receiving mail

    I can only send or receive mail when opening up Windows mail. Clicking the
    send/receive button while working in mail has no effect. I've checked the
    options and have got ticked the button "send mail immediately" but no matter
    what I do mail just sits in the outbox until I close down and then open up
    again. Reading other threads, I have Norton anti-virus installed and don't
    want to uninstall it if possible, can anybody suggest a solution please?

    Sorry to sound a numbskull, but I'm quite new to this - how do I disable
    email scanning?

    I doubt this can be fixed without uninstalling Norton AV.
