To follow up my initial problem report...
I searched the "avast! 4.x Home/Pro" section of this forum. Although I did read a number of threads about how to configure email notifiers including Magic Mail Monitor (MMM), I just can't find SPECIFIC solution to my problem. I tried every method I can think of without success. I have not had experience customizing avast.ini. Having read Techinical's KB thread about avast.ini, I still don't have specific ideas. I would truly appreciate someone could kindly offer SPEFICIC help here, as such something I can copy + paste in avast.ini if that is where the problem resides.
As shown below, I have listed all data/information I have gathered so far.
My problem in summary:
With all "On-Acess Protection Control" (Avast OAPC) providers enabled, MMM is unable to access mail servers I've st up and retrieve emails. The problem will persist, even when Avast "Internet Mail" is terminated and/or terminated and renabled. However, MMM will again work fine, when I terminate and re-enable all Avast OAPC providers.
I have 8 mailboxes hosted by 3 mail servers set up in MMM, all at port 110. The POP port is also 110 under, OAPC > Internet Mail > Redirect. In my initial post, I mentioned I also have SSL email accounts set up under MMM. They have been set up at port 110. With this setting, MMM was working just as it should up to the last version prior Avast 4.6.603. I understand anti-virus email scanners mostly do not work with SSL email accounts within an email client (mine are Outlook Express and Thunderbird). I don't mind that Avast does not scan emails while I am using my email clients set up at POP port 995 and SMTP port 465, as Avast scanned within MMM before emails actually arrived in my Inbox.
System configurations
- OS: Windows XP Pro SP2
- Email clients using: Outlook Express & Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0
- Firewall: Outpost Personal Firewall Pro 2.5.375.4822 (374)

Please note: I have 8 mailboxes hosted by 3 mail servers. However as shown above, only the default's POP/SMTP server is listed. The servers I am having problem with within MMM are not listed under avast.ini. Is where anything here?
