Avast suddenly blocking locally installed Outlook POP3 e-mail.
« on: December 31, 2019, 10:46:36 AM »
Greetings,

I have Avast Premium Security, version 19.8.2393.

It has been working just fine for years.  A couple of days ago I was suddenly unable to send and receive any mail hosted by Google.  I worked with both MS and then Google and we finally determined it was Avast blocking it.  I've had to turn off the mail shield.

Please advise.

Cheers.
