Hi All,
sorry I've taken so long to reply, but I only get on here very occasionally.I have tested this in 2 ways:
First sending e-mails from my hotmail account to my outlook express account.
Second sending a message to myself from the same OE account.
Neither method gives me any indication that Avast has checked the message.
DavidR,
I have just never got around to upgrading OE, as 5.5 has always been fine.
Maybe the guys at Alwil could let us know if there are problems with Avast 4.6.623 / Win 98Se and OE 5.5.
I do not see any message in the header to indicate that Avast has checked e-mails.
Technical,
It is normally set to HTML, but after reading your reply I changed it to TXT, but still no message.
With regards to your note about the MS Outlook plugin, are you talking about the 'Outlook/Exchange provider'?
When I start the 'on-access' scanner it states that the outlook/exchange provider is 'waiting for a subsystem to start'.
When I look at the e-mail headers I do not see any X-Antivirus: avast messages.
sded,
Yes I am set-up to use port 110 for pop3 and 25 for smtp, with SSL unchecked.
Though I didn't know I was until I went looking for the answer to your question.
Thanks for the help everyone, there has got to be a reason for this, as everyone else seems to be using 4.6.623 without problems.
Regards
Barry
