I'm using Avast 4.7 and Thunderbird 1.5.0.8, Windows XP Home SP2 fully patched. I connect to email providers Fastmail.fm via IMAP and Gmail via POP. My SMTP server is Fastmail.fm.
I want to use SSL for all connections.
When I run the email wizard for Avast, it tells me it isn't needed. However, as long as SSL is enabled, Avast doesn't seem to check my email. Changing to non-secure connection seems to make the Avast scanner work OK (the confirmation messages are inserted in the email messages.
I'm using Comodo firewall, and enabling or disabling it makes no difference.
Any help would be appreciated.
