My wife is having frequent problems with her Outlook where she is getting a server encryption error preventing connection to the Gmail servers.

After much trial and error, I found that if I removed her Avast Premium Security app, the problem went away.

Is anyone else having problems with Outlook/GMail and Avast Premium Security?

We've used Avast Premium Security for a couple of years with any problem.   The current issue only began when she moved to Windows 10 and Office 2019 on a new Dell XPS last week

Was there any AV preinstalled. If so, did you completely remove it..?

AV was not preinstalled.  I installed it.

I've removed and reinstalled the product now multiple times.

If AV is not installed, OUTLOOK works fine.

If AV is installed and Mail Shield is enabled, I get encryption errors when trying to send/receive email.

If AV is installed and Mail Shield is disabled, Outlook works fine.

If AV is installed, Mail Shield is enabled, and I untick scanning inbound and outbound emails,  I get encryption errors when trying to send/receive email.

I haven't tried having Mail Shield enabled and going through unticking all the other Mail Shield options one-by-one yet.

First, be sure to get rid of all remnants of any prior installed AV(s)..!!
-> https://support.avast.com/article/11/

Then:
1. Download Avast Premium Security: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_premium_security_setup_offline.exe
2. Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions..!!)
3. Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
4. Reboot.

I followed all the steps indicated:

- Ran the McAfee Utility to ensure that the Dell loaded version of McAfee was fully removed
- Downloaded APS to my desktop
- Downloaded AVAST uninstall utility to my desktop
- rebooted in Safe Mode (which was an adventure in itself, requiring the use of a bit locker key....something new for me)
- Ran the Avast removal tool
- Rebooted
- reinstalled APS
- rebooted
- Started Outlook

and Outlook ran fine for 17 minutes.  I sent and received several emails successfully.

and then the encryption error appeared again.  So no change in behavior

Suggestions?

at first I thought .... "seriously"?

but I went ahead and rebooted twice.   

After the second reboot I restarted Outlook.

The encryption error began appearing within 10 minutes

Done.

Since there was no ticket number, I provided the name of this forum issue within the body of the message

Asyn - How long does it typically take Avast to respond to / acknowledge  a new support ticket using the method you provided?

Hi, you should get a ticket-ID instantly. No idea about current response times, sorry.

I used the "settings" method outlined within the url you provided to submit a log file.    No ticket number was ever created during that process, and I've received no response from AVAST indicating they have received the information I provided.

There was a FILE ID indicated, but no ticket number.

Would that indicate I did it incorrectly?
