But Ox800CCCOE in OE is the inability to send and/or receive emails, so
it could be an incorrectly configured smtp/pop3 server

Nothing wrong with Norton been using it here for 10+ years.

0x800CCC0E (note the zeros not capital O's) is "Failed to connect" or
"cannot connect to server" which can mean any one of a lot of things.

Try restarting Norton - I've seen computers where the SMTP/POP hook in
Norton crashes - OE cannot then access SMTP/POP servers as Norton
hijacks all traffic for the purpose of scanning for virus.

Or disable the email component of Norton. Or disable Norton.

I used to favour Norton as an AV and firewall, but they started to lose
their way badly around NIS 2005. Each upgrade since then has been larger,
slower to boot and less easy to use because the menus have been redesigned
to make them counter-intuitive.

AVG Internet Security seems to be good, though its anti-spam is cumbersome
because you have to maitain your own black list of banned addresses and
can't even right-click on a message to say "this is spam".

One funny with AVG: it always installs with File/Printer sharing disabled -
took me a while to work out why PCs couldn't access each others' shares!

Au contraire - this happened around 1999 IIRC

Their first satisfied customer ? Norton is a JOKE. It is revoltingly awful.
