Title: Update to 18.6.2349 suddenly blocks pop3 access to Gmail
Post by: daluk on August 24, 2018, 05:41:05 PM
Hi, this version (1.jpg) - updated today- suddenly results in pop3 email receipt for my gmail account only (all others are ok) failing.

I can see this text (the rest is unavailable):
SSL connection failed (certificate failed: unable to get loca

What do you suggest?    Disabling Avast shield solves this.

Thanks!
