I've looked all over the forums to find an answer. I use Incredimail for 2 hotmail accounts and 1 sbc.yahoo account. Avast sees the sbc.yahoo account when setting up the mail protection (auto and manual) but not the 2 hotmail accounts. I changed the smtp and pop server to 127.0.0.1, but no hotmail accounts show up in the protection setup.
Please tell me how to do this. Make it simple as I am now brain-dead :P I tried looking for the ini file, too, and no luck.
Thanks in advance!

I may be mistaken but hotmail doesn't work with Avast unless you use a separate utility program like hotmail popper.

Well no wonder I couldn't find anything!
Thanks, Culpepper, for the quick answer :-*

The hotmail accounts do not work with POP3 and SMTP servers so avast! does not give support for their scanning (I suppose...) :'(
