Upgrading to Norton 2002, 2003
If you were using Norton AntiVirus 2001 or earlier and you upgrade to Norton AV 2002 or 2003, ChoiceMail may stop working.

The reason this occurs is because the newer versions of Norton AV do not use a mail proxy. As a result, the special email address that earlier Norton AV applications inject into email applications (and which are picked up by ChoiceMail when you install ChoiceMail) are no longer valid.

To fix this problem, you just need to reset the email accounts in ChoiceMail so that the username and POP3 server names refer to the email accounts at your ISP.

Step 1) Open your email accounts setting dialog in ChoiceMail (from the main menu, click Options | e-mail account settings).

Step 2) Click on the first email address that is displayed on the left hand side. The fields for that email address will be displayed on the right hand side.

Step 3) The values for the POP3 source user name (second field) and POP3 source host (fourth field) will be something like

            yourusername/mail.yourisp.com
            pop3.norton.antivirus

where the piece after the '/' will be your real pop3 server

You need to change these entries to

            yourusername
            mail.yourisp.com


Step 4) Click the Test button and make sure ChoiceMail can connect to your ISP. If it cannot, check the settings and also make sure you have the correct password.

Step 5) For each email account you have defined, click on the account and perform Steps 3 and 4 above.

Step 6) Finally, click the OK button, ChoiceMail should now be configured correctly.
