Probably because your firewall is blocking ashMaiSv.exe.

What is your email program?
What is your OS - win98, XP, what?
What is your firewall?
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.2.6105 (build 24.2.8918.824) UI 1.0.799/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

I also have the same problem.  I can recieve and read email but not send.
I have tried to turn off everything to fix this but it still will not let me send.
How can you change the mail protection wizard??
It does not even show the mail protection wizard under avast menu or settings.
If I can't fix this I will have to delete avast.

Which is your operational system?
For Windows 98\Me, the Mail Protection Wizard is on Start Menu > avast! antivirus.
You can run it directly from avast folder: ashPopWz.exe
Do you use a firewall?

Men, you came here as for help but do not give us the data we need to help you  :P

Ok, when you say it won't let you send what error messages are displayed, please be as exact as possible.

When you send an email does your server require authentication?
If so have you ticked the box?

If the above doesn't resolve the issue, just for test purposes temporarily disable the windows firewall and try to send an email to yourself.

On the previous occasion, were you sending an email with an attachment?
If so extending OE's server timeout delay will help.



While avast scans the outbound email OE thinks the server is idle and displays the timeout message.

Sure, your firewall should be on. Just you need to allow the following programs to connect:

ashServ.exe (avast! antivirus service)
ashWebSv.exe (avast! Web Scanner) (allow server rights)
ashMaiSv.exe (avast! e-Mail Scanner Service) (allow email rights)
ashUpdSv.exe (avast! Update Service)
avast.setup (avast! Update executable)

speciallly, ashMaiSv.exe to send/recieve emails...  :)

Well since your using Windows Firewall:

Go to Control Panel>Click on Securtiy Center>click on the text "Windows Firewall">click on the "exception" tab> click on "add program">  Since it's not on the list, your gonna have to browse your PC for these:
ashWebSv
aswUpdSv
ashMaiSv
avast.setup
ashServ

avast.setup is a temporary file created while updating avast.
With 3rd party firewalls you should be able to manually start an update and answer yes to the connection.
Windows Firewall, even with the 'program asks for connection' option enabled, could allow it without asking...
But, I imagine you can update avast without problem right now, can't you?
