Somewhere in the configuration of OE you should have something like this
POP3 server: your.isp
port: 110
I'm guessing that the port is not 110 let say XXX

Norton is listening on some port. You should be able to find which port 
in the configuration or in their manual.


SB is also listening and talking on some port:
To get the information launch a web browser then type:
http://localhost:8880
go to the configuration page
and copy what you have in:
Remote server and Spmabayes port:


I suspect the Remote server will be something like
localhost:YYY (which is the port that Norton is listening to)

The server in this case is the Norton proxy  (see my previous mail)

A question for the developper of SB.
What happend if when you ask for an email you don't get anything back ?



You can also try to get a configuration like this
OE ->Norton proxy -> SB pop3proxy -> ISP
instead of like this
OE -> SB pop3proxy->Norton proxy -> ISP
