Thanks Sandra. I would like to believe that the firewall is not involved.
Certainly there must be something else rather strange going on, but it
seems odd that temporarily unloading it invariably causes normal POP3
mail collection to be resumed. I wondered whether some other process
was going on in the background and taking so much of the available
resources that the connection to the POP3 server timed out, but I cannot
see why this would only occur when the firewall was running.
I would like to find out whether the same problem arises if using the XP
firewall, but I suspect that even if Webroot Desktop firewall did not load at
start up the XP one would be disabled. The only way would be to
temporarily uninstall the Webroot one.
I will let you know if I find a solution. I intend tomorrow to try A Google
search for the error message - unless anyone comes up with an explanation
in the meantime.
