Thank you for your responses…
Hello,
If you can not send emails, than the problem must be in your mail client configuration as the avast mail shield does not affect sending mails (SMTP) in any way. What could be broken by the mail shield is saving the sent mail to the IMAP server (into the "Sent" folder). So what exat error message do you get? And what exact server settings do you use? Please provide us screenshots of "preferences->Accounts->Account Information" and "preferences->Accounts->Advanced" so we can try to reproduce the issue.
I have no problem to send email. I have a probleme with your tutorial for use mailshield :
- The SSL connection is enable on 993 port
- I uncheck the ssl connection. The box is unchecked and the port is 143.
- I save the change.
- I restart Mailapp.
- The box is always unchecked with the 143 port.
- CMD+N (new email) the PROBLEM : the box is checked itself, so the SSL is enable but with the 143 port not 993 port.
- Now i can not send mail.
You can see screenshots.
Sorry for french. But to resolve the problem, i must to come back to the good setting.
LeSpace, could you test the described behaviour without having the avast! installed, please? My findings are that the "use SSL" flag is magically turned on by the mail app itself. As the port stays to be 143, no connection is possible.
To reproduce, I've followed these steps:
1. Set a port to 143, uncheck the "use SSL" checkbox and close settings to save it.
2. Restart the mail app
3. Open settings and display the icloud account advanced options.
4. Hit a reply button on an email
5. The "use SSL" flag is automatically turned on
Works on a Mountain Lion without having the avast! installed.

Jan
I describe it just before. If i understand you.
I tried without Avast, same problem.
The exactly same issue is described here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=99238.0
I don't know...
EDIT: The most recent findings show that we have a bug there . If you uncheck the "Mark mail headers" and "Remove infected attachements" checkboxes in the mail shield advanced settings, it should work.
It is already uncheck...
If isn't not possible to use the iCloud unencrypted, than it's not possible to use the mail shield to scan messages.
…
Avast doesn't work with iCloud ?!?!
It is a realy problem...
If you need more informations ask me.
