"SSL/TLS Connection Detected" alert always flashing on screen, won't go away

From my previous post:
--- Quote from: tumic on December 12, 2011, 10:12:58 AM ---The solution is not to switch the popup verbosity to "errors and alerts only", but to disable SSL in your mail clients configuration and set it up in the avast! mailshield configuration.
This way the avast! mailshield will be able to check the mail traffic and your connection to the server will remain encrypted.

This means You have to:
* Start Apple Mail and go to Mail -> Preferencess -> Accounts -> Advanced and uncheck the "Use SSL" checkbox.
* Open System Preferences and go to Avast -> Shields -> Mail Shield -> Advanced... -> SSL and add the mailservers You are using to the list.

Hello guys,
looking forward to using avast under OS X, so far have been using it only under Bootcamp.

How would you setup Mail shield for iCloud account? @me.com mail...
I turned off SSL at Mail and I have set Avast to proper imap ssl server only to see something about wrong certificate or something like that.
Turned Mail Shield off for now.
(Jinak dobrá práce, jen tak dál ;D)
EDIT:
Fixed by moving Apple .Mac Certificate Authority from Login to System in Keychain.

I am using Sparrow for Gmail. It is a simplified client whose setup includes entering a name and password for Gmail. All other options available to the user are superficial; there is no option to change use of SSL.
A related topic here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=92303.0 which links to my original post on the avast! c|net forum that I made while these forums were down.
I have just added the Gmail servers to the Avast! preferences: http://cl.ly/DjqB
Is this correct?
Also, I'm not sure what is meant by the note at the bottom, "...must be in one of the 'System Roots' or 'System' keychains..."
I have an idea of what this means, but once I opened Keychain I'm lost. How do I know which certificate I'm looking for?

There is no way how to configure Sparrow to use the avast! mailshield, if it lacks the possibility to use non-SSL connections. In the next avast! release there will be at least the possibility to disable the "SSL warnings" so one can use the mailshield for other mail clients at the same time without being annoyed by the popup windows every time Sparrow connects to the server.

You are looking for the certificate of the mailserver you are connecting to or the certificate of the certification authority that signed the mailserver's certificate. To learn about SSL certificates and/or the Mac OS X keychain, you can use any article generally explaining this topic as this is not a avast! mailshield specific topic.

Hi,
Can someone tell the correct settings to configure avast with Gmail? I'm using the Postbox app with Gmail but no matter what settings I try I can't get avast to scan my mail. Any ideas?
