Sigh. As has been pointed out numerious times, things can change in a
hearbeat and the AVG can begin to cause problems. Especially since the AV
updates itself continuously.

There's only one way to find out. Uninstall AVG (you're using an outdated
version, BTW. It's at 9, now). Reboot, and custom reinstall WITHOUT the
email module.

You're already protected with the resident scanner. The email scanning is
marketing hype.

Thanks. Can you make anything of the following?

Evidently, it logs me on, finds 25 messages waiting, then draws the error when
it tries to retrieve the 1st message.

I called ATT "tech support", they verified my O2k settings, etc, then shuffled
me off to billable "support", which I declined.

I make the -ERR [SYS/TEMP] as a server error. Do you concur?

Thanks,
P

Sigh. Updates definitions. Changes in what it scans for, perhaps. I
wouldn't expect it to change how it logs on to the server, retrieves
messages.

I downloaded v9 weeks ago, was waiting to see what problems others
might have.

AVG 9 is installed, w/o Email scan. Same message retrieve error persists.
No difference.

Yes, this is exactly what the log is telling you.

I do. The "[rx]" designation is for the messages that are coming in from the
server. If this were happening to me, I'd log into the SBC Yahoo mailbox via
a web browse and move the first message in the Inbox to another folder (create
one if you don't have one handy), then try Outlook again to see if the problem
is the message in the Inbox. While you're there, you might want to check the
"spam" folder for accumulated messages.
