Can't send or receive emails without closing eMclient and restarting

[REDACTED]

Can't send or receive emails without either closing eMclient and restarting or by turning off AVAST for 10 minutes and closing eMclient and restarting.  Looking for a setting in AVAST that will allow eMclient to send and receive without interruption.  Appreciate all assistance.  Steve

- Which Avast..? (Free/Pro/IS/Premier)
- Which version..?
- OS..? (32/64 Bit..? - which SP/Build..?)
- Other security related software installed..?
- Which AV(s) did you use before Avast..?

Do you have avast with firewall?

If so is your network profile in puplic or private mode?   what happen if you change?

Free - ver 18.8.2356 (been using Free Avast for several years - Windows 10 Home Version 1803 (build 17134)  (x64) - also have System Mechanic and Malwarebytes.  Right now network profile is private.  Firewall is Windows Defender

Regarding Avast & Malwarebytes, see: https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/200324-exclusions-for-avast-users/

Asyn, this looks like I would make exceptions in both AVAST and Malwarebytes.   Do you think that would correct the problem I am having?   Seems odd that everything was working ok for months then it started with Thunderbird.  I migrated to eMclient a month ago and it worked ok for 3 weeks then started again.  Thoughts anyone?

It's worth a try.
