When I say I check online, I just check my mail in OE and hotmail while I am surfing since I just have dial-up.

Been gone all day, but when I open outlook/exchange in avast , it has waiting for a subsystem to start.  Any suggestions?

Ofcourse it is waiting. You are NOT using Outlook or Exchange.
You are using Outlook Express which is NOT the same as Outlook.
For Outlook Express the internet mail provider is used.

That is what I thought, but seems like everyones suggestions related to outlook exchange. By the way, now when I close OE I get a dialog box that says outlook express can compact mail to free up disc space. Does this help?

The question if you want to compress the mailbox is just a setting in OE and has nothing to do with the original problem.

Have you already tried a repair of avast to see if it scans your mail then?

I have totally un-installed and downloaded the program again just in case I had a bad download.  Installed and trid it but it still won't scan.  I just don't know what happened.

What are the settings under [mailscanner] in avast4.ini?

And what is listed as mailprovider in OE?

I don't understand what you mean "under mailscanner
' in avast4.ini.  The mail provider is pop3.  I t will be awhile before I can get back to you, I will be out all day.
