Woke up this morning and I cannot send or receive mail on WLM.  Was working 
last night.
I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2), with 2 GB of RAM, Firefox, CA
Security Suite, MBAB, SuperAntiSpyware Professional, CCleaner and Spybot 
search and destroy on an Acer Aspire T180 desktop. All WU's are current and
the machine was working just great. I can connect to the internet just fine.

Here's the error message I'm getting when I try sync my mail or NG accounts:

"Unable to send or receive messages for the pop-server.cfl.rr.com account. 
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for 
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of 
inactivity.

Server Response: +OK 8259 octets
Server: 'pop-server.cfl.rr.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F
Protocol: POP3
Port: 110
Secure(SSL): No"

Any idea why I can't send/receive mail?  Paul C.

Are you able to get the Internet?
Your connection with the net may be down.=20

Richard, I did mention below that I was able to get onto the internet just 
fine, with fast speed. I also reset my router which sometimes helps, but it 
didn't.
By now the `problem' has gone away but for reasons I'll never understand. 
The only thing I can think of is that when I went to bed last night I left 
the WLM calendar up on the screen, but that's not much of a clue.

Most likely the problem went away because it was a temporary server 
problem.  Nothing you needed to do, or could do, other than wait and try 
again.

Hi Mike. You're probably correct about the temporary server problem but it 
sure is frustrating because by all accounts the internet connection seems 
fine. Paul C

"Unexpectedly terminated" is usually caused by interference from an
antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus should be turned off.
Email scanning in any antivirus should be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

Gary, thanks for your reply. I'm familiar with your position about e-mail 
scanners.
Do you think your position is still defendable even though my system has 
been running perfectly with e-mail scanners enabled for 2 years, and after 
the event I just had where I couldn't send e-mail and then I could?  Perhaps 
this is the `signature' of how an e-mail scanner can interfere and then not 
interfere.  Sounds quirky to me but you're the expert, not me.
Just to be safe, I just turned off the e-mail scanner inside of my CA 
Security suite after I read the article in the link you sent.

Yes, we've seen instances where no problems occurred for a long time,
and suddenly it happens. CA is not the worst of the lot, but McAfee
and Norton antivirus products must often be uninstalled before the
mail problem clears up.
