When I disable this optimization feature using gpedit.msc, reboot my machine and login directly after the login screen appears, mail monitor immediately connects to the POP server! I notice a slight delay in booting WinXP, the screen with 'preparing network connections' is shown a bit longer but this is the expected behaviour.
Perhaps it is able to have MailMonitor being waiting until all network connections are ready? I've read some other report of WeatherMonitor, which also has a problem with some timeout. Maybe there is similarity in these problems. I don't recall the exact problem there and can't find the post either

Kind regards,
