have you tried connecting without the software installed? sometimes there can be problems authenticating your username and password with the mail server too, but I dunno the answer to that.

Hi, my name is Drakhan.

For the firewall, you may need to open the ports used for mail, i.e., 110
for POP3, 25 for SMTP and 119 for newsgroups. Lots of reports of problems
with use of Norton firewall and email so you might want to do a Google
search for that.

I did a search for you and came up with this:

Copy the link to a new browser and remove the " ". Dont know why this doesnt work otherwise


Good luck and gods bless.
