Anti-Virus may be causing this: Do you scan emails before sending ? Suggest you switch off scanning outgoing emails and retry.

disabled outgoing email scan (using Norton) but this did not solve problem. Cannot originate, reply to, or forward any email without getting error msg "server timed out". My web mail is through verizon server.
