Title: Opera e-mail client and avast! 4 Home Edition
Post by: Furbo on July 23, 2004, 01:31:54 AM
I use Opera7 e-mail client.
Dose avast! e-mail protection cooperate with opera?
Is there any e-mail virus protection or I should turn off in avast e-mail virus protection because It won't work and there isn't any e-mail virus protection using Opera e-mail client and avast?
Thank You in advance for any answers

avast should support opera ;D

however if i'm not wrong...you may need to configure it manually...i'm not too sure whether the mail wizard can detect opera mail accounts..

also check this faq (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=9;action=display;threadid=4818) ;)

I use option: insert note into out and incoming messages.
but it dosen't work and there aren't any notes about avast scaning into mails. That's how I conclude avast dosen't work with opera e-mail client. You wrote about manually configuring and mail wizard. I've searched for mail wizard in avast but unfortunately I couldn't find it so I can't check if mail wizard can detect opera mail accounts. How could I configure manually avast and where can I find mail wizard?
Thank You in advance for help.

Opera stores the mail somewhere in "documents & settings" as files with extension. If you have the on-access scanner enabled, they will be scanned.

Does it mean I can turn off internet mail protecion, outlook protection and turn on standard protection?
I don't know if I'm correct: It means avast will scan incoming mails on hard drive, right?
