Why am I unable to send email messages?
If you get the message Norton AntiVirus was unable to 
send your email message because the connection to your 
email server was disconnected, your email client may be 
set to automatically disconnect after sending and 
receiving email messages. To resolve this issue, turn off 
this option within your email client. Consult your email 
client manual for instructions on how to do this.

issue, turn off Norton AntiVirus outgoing email scanning.
