    I very recently installed this security suite, and now find that some email does not get through to me, including email from Windowsbbs.com. Has anyone else had this problem? I have asked Symantec, and they will get back to me (i hope) withnn 72 hours. But I'd like to hear from anyone else who has had this difficulty.

    Thanks.

    Mail Scanning Problem?

    I had a similar problem last year when I installed Norton System Works 2005. My inbound email would no longer work smoothly. Outbound mail wasn't affected. What eventually cured it was disabling NSW2005's inbound and outbound mail scanning. Somehow NSW had put a nasty hook into my Netscape/Mozilla email software. All was well after that. I don't know if Norton Internet Security has an email checking option you can disable. Hope this helps.

    Email problem

    I've given up on Norton, gone back to ZoneAlarm; it's more user friendly. Norton has popups that ask for choices but don't explain them. That's a sure way to put users off.

    Have you tried looking in the Norton Antispam folder?

    Lots of e-mail captured there. You can teach it what to allow.
