About encrypted email connections

Norton Internet Security does not support email connections that use Secure Sockets Layer. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a Netscape protocol designed to provide secure communications on the Internet. If you use an SSL connection to access your email, you are not protected by Norton Internet Security.

To send email messages through SSL connections, turn off Privacy Control and Norton AntiSpam.

In Norton AntiVirus, you must turn off incoming and outgoing email protection.
