I can add an account into my email from yahoo and it come's in fine. But when I change the incoming to 127.0.0.1 it wont work.
Thanks for the welcome and yep I figured it out! I do have the paid yahoo and the incoming and outgoing has to be left the way it normally is and when I downloaded the new update it changed it to 127.0.0.1. I have been using avast for years! I tried Norton and had WAY too many problems! I love avast!!Thanks! Chrissy
With XP the email scanning is transparent and there should be no need to use the 127.0.0.1 setting in your email server settings, that is one of the reasons there is no sign of the mail protection Wizard in the Start, programs list.
When I look at my OE email account settings, everything is as it would be if avast wasn't there, e.g. no changes.
I can't see how the update would change these settings, assuming your still using XP. The only thing I can think of is your firewall (you didn't say what it is) could somehow be blocking, but if it is allowing in one email account and not the other, that is strange.
Also what is your email program ?
