Hi all... I'm new to this forum Q & A thing so be patient if I screw up. Anyhow... I installed Avast 4.5 yesterday and because of an internet accellerator for my dial-up... it won't scan incoming mail unless I disable the accellerator. It won't share the port! Also, I used Avast 4 for about the past 9 mo. or so and I've never had the icon show up in my mail window telling me that it's checking mail. But, as long as the accellerator is turned off, if I go to the message source in my message properties, it says that it was checked both incoming and outgoing. Can anyone offer any suggestions to solve my mail problems? Thanks.... NB, Canada
