The best idea would be to uninstall Norton, run their debris cleanup utility
to remove all the crud the uninstaller leaves behind, then do a custom
re-install WITHOUT any email scanner features/modules/components. Norton's
email scanner is one of the most problematic pieces of software available
anywhere, it is entirely redundant and supplies NO additional protection
whatsoever, and your system is FULLY protected against email threats without
it, provided you keep the resident file system scanner up to date. Email
scanners produce more email client problems than all other causes combined.

Frequently asked questions about Norton AntiVirus Email Scanning
Q - Is my computer still protected against viruses if I disable Email
Scanning?
A- Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
that are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect
scans incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email
and email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this.
To make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.
