Anyother ideas before I go with another program?

I'm having problems with Outlook Express and the latest version of Avast too. Methinks there must be an undetected bug or conflict there.

Maybe you can help if you add the following line to the [MailScanner] section of <avast>\data\avast4.ini:
Log=20

Then generate some traffic, simulate the problem (i.e. force the avast mail scanner to time out by sending an email with attachment) and then post here the contents of the file <avast>\data\log\aswMaiSv.log

It's not easy to help as we can't imagine what's going on...
For sure avast is NOT incompatible with OE or Outlook... I'm using both right now without problems  ::)

Seems normal, except for the connection error...
Can you disable Internet Mail provider and try to work with OE, will it work?

Can you post your OE settings like it is shown here? http://www.tiscali.co.uk/help/email/oe_settings.html

Tech, it works fine only when I disable mail---I have checked and rechecked my settings. They are correct according to the links posted.

rextilleon,

a question on the settings for your verizon account in OE.

On the "Servers" tab you have the incoming and outgoing server names, do you have the box "Log on using Secure password authentication" checked or unchecked?

Here is my avast log of using OE6 to connect to an account (that looks as though it really does exist) on incoming.verizon.net.

As you see avast has no problem connecting to the server.  Something else must be getting in the way for you.

Anyway good luck with Kapersky.

FWIW I am having no problem with OE in any way. It connects and downloads, and sends.

Also FWIW we might have been better able to help him if he had produced the Log=20 level of logging that Tech requested.  I guess he was too frustrated to pay attention at that point. 

It seems something in that environment was blocking ashMaiSv.exe from making the connection to the server while allowing OE to do so.

Ah well, we probably will not get much further with this particular problem.

I did post the log and was never told that it was wrong.  Perhaps this is just a case where you couldn't solve a problem. That happens--with computers and with life.  Anyhow, I thank everyone for their efforts----I have been an Avast user for years, and really hate to have to give it up.

I agree with alanrf:

It seems something in that environment was blocking ashMaiSv.exe from making the connection to the server while allowing OE to do so.

It may be e.g. a firewall or an antivirus with email scanner, even a previously uninstalled program that was not uninstalled completely.
