For example, the programs on your computer can lose access to the Internet, Windows itself can stop getting updates, etc. But if you go too far with managing Windows Firewall rules, things can get really-really messy and cause significant connectivity issues on your computer. That is totally fine and normal if you know what you are doing. They create new Windows Firewall rules and try to fine-tune their network connection to ensure the best security possible. Still, many users like to take control of their privacy and security. Only one thing really is common almost universally, and that is marketing hype that promises security and is more adept at half truths and scary warnings.By default, an average user does not need to manage Windows Firewall thus there is no need to reset Windows Firewall Settings to default. I just know I would not use either any more and over the years I have used a number of Anti virus products. Or it might be a reflection on the products.

Nortons is always high on the list of those mentions, along with McAfee. We see it all the time here, anti virus crippling mail reception. Unfortunately they are not worthy of that level of trust. Both in terms of access on your device (system level, the highest, Integrated with the physical hardware) and in our hearts. Anti virus product occupy a very privileged position. But the right tools for the job would be better quality and much nicer to used and do the job better. Firewalls, identity safes, phishing protectors, spam filtering unfortunately they and like the swiss army knife. One of the issues we all face with out anti virus products is they are all battling to remain relevant in an environment where there basic functions are being offered by windows so like the swiss army knife they keep sprouting new functionality. To this day I do not know how or what it left, I assume registry entries that had windows basically continuing to "firewall" without the ability to control it. When I uninstalled it it simply did not reset the firewall so the ports it blocked remained blocked until I installed another which reset things to the defaults when it was installed.
Probably twenty years ago I have my first encounter with windows firewalls as a trial that I allowed to expire. The problem will almost certainly have been the firewall that came with Nortons.

When trying to send an email from Gmail I get the message: I do not use the Mail app normally as it has never worked with my work addresses. I set up the Windows Mail App to send an email from my Hotmail account and it sent on WiFi. If I connect the laptop to my router with an Ethernet cable (not very convenient) they will send. None of these addresses now send emails from Thunderbird via WiFi. 1 Hotmail, 1 Gmail and 3 work addresses from my own website all with the domain name hosted by Fasthost.
I am sure all the settings are as specified by the email providers. The new laptop receives email with no problem.
I am using the same wifi signal and service provider. The previous laptop sent and received email on wifi with not problems. Both run Windows 10, Thunderbird and Norton Security.
