welcome to the forum..
you may set the server name to 127.0.0.1 and the user name to you_username#ISP_mailserver
i followed the instructions given for setting up the protection manually but now i cant send or rec email using thunderbird.. i had to mess around w/ thunderbird to begin with to get it working because of microsofts insistance on MS only products to access hotmail so i have hotmail popper running at the same time and the ports are different.. would those have to be accounted for in setting up avast as well? and if so.. how would i go about doing that?
i guess the best way to ask this is if my current email addresses in thunderbird are joeblow@hotmail.com (pop) and joeblow@uoft.ca (imap) which have incoming servers set to localhost and mail.uoft.ca respectively, with an SMTP of blahmail.to.blahcable.net .. what would all the corresponding settings within thunderbird and avast be?
i may have made a mistake when i did it but im not sure lol..
the changes or settings i made to the avast.ini file are:
[MailScanner]
DefaultPopServer=localhost
DefaultSmtpServer=blahmail.to.blahcable.net
DefaultImapServer=mail.uoft.ca
ShowTrayIcon=1
UseDefaultSmtp=1
AutoSetProtection=0
in thunderbird i have the following setup now:
for the hotmail acct:
server name: 127.0.0.1 port: 11110
username: joeblow#localhost
for my uni based acct (imap):
server name: 127.0.0.1 port 993
username: joeblow#mail.uoft.ca
and finally the smtp is set to:
server name: 127.0.0.1 port 25
user name: #blahmail.to.blahcable.net
it could very well be due to hotmail popper or something thats causing my problems and if so, i guess i'd have to change the ports in.. umm.. where? lol. im quite confused with all of this but i definately want to stick with avast for my anti-virus needs and TB for my emailing needs.. so any help in this manner would definately be greatly appreciated thanks
