[pmmail-list] PMMAIL 2.20.2370 frequently hangs during fetch

[Mike Kilroy]

I use Pmmail also with Norton.  Altho I have not had this problem
since last week when I too upgraded from 2360 to 2370, we had that
same situation in the past a couple times on one machine
(PIII-550/384mb ram).  I too had to change my 127.0.0.1 back to real
.com address to get past hang ups.  If I recall correctly,
reinstalling any version of Pmmail had no affect, but uninstalling
and reinstalling same version Norton antivirus 2000 finally did fix
it.  Inc ase this helps any...
