Version Info
Beta 38024,
10.8.2
GMail Settings:
Server imap.googlemail.com:993,SSL/TSL
Whenever my gmail account attempts to connect to the server, it ends up timing out. Occasionally it will succeed fine, but for the most part it will not connect. Disabling the Mail shield will allow it to work fine, so it's not the connection. I've disabled the compression setting and it still is doing it. My other account works fine.
(Had to use beta due to 'Unable to verify email server' error)
Does that also occur if you use imap.gmail.com as the server address (it's the one referenced in google support docs and the one I use, it works fine for me with the beta and before the beta).
I tried this and everything started working fine. Thank you.

Are there any interresting messages in the system log file (/var/log/system.log)?
I took a look at the logs and found this:
Jan 28 09:22:11 mac com.avast.proxy[1540]: Error reading receive buffer: read(): Connection reset by peer
Jan 28 09:22:50 --- last message repeated 1 time ---
Jan 28 09:22:50 mac com.avast.proxy[1540]: Error reading receive buffer: read(): Connection reset by peer
Jan 28 09:23:15 mac com.avast.proxy[1540]: Defective IMAP request!
I don't really understand it myself. Thunderbird auto-used the googlemail.com domain, and this worked correctly when the mail shield is down. Using the gmail.com instead seems to work properly, so I don't really know what is going on.

On a side note, I'm noticing that my college email account doesn't appear to be going through avast at all. I'm not seeing any bars coming in on avast. Is there any way to review this? Other than the server domain and what not, the settings are the same.

Sent myself a test email and checked and it is scanning. Apparently it knew it had already scanned the previous emails...Though I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing because in theory it might be possible to spoof avast into thinking the email is valid when it really isn't...
