Hi,
Granted, my e-mail program is old (maybe Outlook 2003) but it is still working acceptably and frustrating to not be able to easily turn off e-mail spam filtering. I get very little spam at this point and Norton (360 for Windows (10) just recently purchased) appears to be slowing down e-mail receiving to an unbearable crawl. Even after logging into Norton as an administrator and trying to turn off e-mail protection, I still get a message that I need to be an administrator to perform the action. Any potential input would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
You are welcome. Glad I could help.
Thank you very much for your input. What you advised did work, and I am grateful to you. I did nevertheless find the process to be rather awkward, as in all previous instances that I have encountered where administrator privileges were needed I have automatically gotten a screen prompting for me to log in as an administrator. But that does not occur in this instance. So it was a totally new experience for me, and I admit I am still confused about why the process is so different in this particular instance.
And in the end, even after I turned off the e-mail spam filter the speed of analyzing e-mails was essentially unchanged. So something else must be in play and I ended up re-enabling the e-mail spam filter. But I certainly learned something new if I ever need to address that or certain other elements at a later date, and I once again sincerely thank you for the enlightenment. I really appreciate it.
You cannot use Run as Administrator to access Norton Settings. You have to be logged into Windows using an admin account.
