Eudora not logging into pop server with Norton Internet Security 2005 Update

[Mikey Spike]

I am currently running Windows XP Pro SP1 with all security patches
and updates minus SP2. I am using Eudora 6.2.1.2 in paid mode. I am
also running Norton Internet Security 2005 with all the
updates...herin lies the problem I believe. I have been using Eudora
since 2.0, and generally have been pleased, however today I did a
check on updates for Norton and found one "Program Update" about 500k
in size, did not see a name for it or if I did forgot what it was
called. I rebooted as instructed, no problems there. Then later tried
to send and or recieve email. All that happens is I get a "Logging
into pop server" and thats it...except the error message "Eudora got
tired of waiting for the server 10100". Now if I close Eudora, disable
Norton, then open Eudora I can send and recieve normally. I have tried
all the suggestions that I found in the forums at Eudora's web site
with no luck. This verison of Norton was just installed about a month
ago and I did do all of the updates then. My guess is that this is a
completely new bug "FEATURE" In Norton. Any suggestions?

Same here! I ran the Norton Internet Security 2005 update on Sunday
evening and I can only get my Gmail. All my other POP mail accounts are
blocked by the firewall. If I suspend the firewall (for 5 minutes),
there is no problem.

FYI I use Win XP (Home) SP2, Outlook 2003, with Norton Anti-Spam
disabled.

Correction: Monday evening Hong Kong time (GMT+8).

PS Shut Down does not work any longer either, I have to use the On/Off
switch on my desktop PC.

OK got bad news and great news. I too had the shutdown problem that I
did not realize until you mentioned it and I tried it. Thast the bad
news. The great news is that after an hour on the phone with Symantec
they came up with a soltuion. Here is what I did...this solved both
the email and shutdown error.

1. Go to Personal Firewall and click on configure
2. Under programs clear EVERY program under manual configure
3. Next use program scan and scan JUST the drive with the OS and
programs
4. After the scan is complete check ALL programs it finds
5. Then check all programs and choose allow
6. Reboot and you should be in business

The only annoying bit is that you may have tomanually tweak some
programs to disallow them if you so choose, and NIS thinks it is brand
new so it will configure everything all over agin by asking you what
to do for each prgram.

Hope this helps

Thank you all for your help. I followed MS's direction and this solved
both the email and the shut down bug. :)

Several people have had the same problem since the last updates. Most have
solved it by resetting the rules or deteting them and creating new rules.
Check the messages posted here over the past couple days and you'll see the
procedure mentioned.
