I guess I missed that you did just install the Nod AV. I don't like
suites either, but liked Nod so much, I thought I would test it out. I
used ZA Pro and Nod32 for a few years, but wanted to eliminate a couple
more processes and free up some memory without the worthless junk ZA had.

I did get bored and installed Thunderbird here and rather like it so
far. I did not have any issues at all getting mail. I can't even think
of anything specific that could be hindering mail service if T-Bird was
working fine before the install of Nod AV. Double check all the
advanced settings in Nod and double check your acct. info servers and
user/pass info.

As far as the popups warning you that the worthless XP firewall is
disabled, go to Control Panels/Security Center and click the link on the
left, "Change the way Security Center Alerts Me, and uncheck Firewall.
