Hi All, just to say, that the problem has now solved itself. I ran the Norton software removal tool and after a reboot I was able to access my email via Windows Mail. This also solved another problem with my Sophos antivirus software not updating.

I had Norton antivirus on for a one moth trial but removed it with Add /remove programs in Vista. Seems like this doesn't do a thorough job. I had heard that it can leave little bits on your system. I suspect this may have been something to do with the firewall not allowing the email client to access via a specific port.

Anyway, I'm now a happy chappy once again - until the next problem comes along.
