I was about to ask you this and you volunteered it. ZoneAlarm is
the culprit here. I wrote to the ZoneAlarm developers and this was their
response:
We are looking into resolving the problem with blocking access
to mail servers, others have reported it too.
A solution for now is to add the mail server to your trusted
Local Zone.
- Enter the security panel
- Click on the advanced button.
- Select add
- Select host/Site
- Enter the mail server name
- Click next, confirm the entry
- Click OK
- Click OK
Then you should no longer have a problem accessing the email
server.
I hope this helps.
The above instructions do solve the problem and I hope this helps. :-)
Most who have reported this problem have indeed been using ZoneAlarm.
Another work around is to use a local POP server. XRay is a nice one.
