I already explained to you above how to use the avast GUI to change the ports intercepted.

Oh i see, sorry about that, a lot of posts i have read tell you to edit the ini file by using notepad and adding lines that way, like this quote from a post...

"Step 2 should be like:

1. Go to Avast4.ini, which is by default in "C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA" folder.

2. Open Avast4.ini file and find [MailScanner] section.  Make sure that "IgnoreLocalhost=0" and add the lines below.


Code:
PopRedirectPort=110,11110
SmtpRedirectPort=25,11025
3. Save and close Avast4.ini file."

so i take it i dont need to do this if i use your instructions???


also does this look correct for the entry for the stunnel config???

# GMail
client=yes
debug=debug

# POP3
[gmail-pop3s]
accept=localhost:120110
connect=pop.gmail.com:995

# SMTP
[gmail-smtps]
accept=localhost:12025
connect=smtp.gmail.com:465

Your Stunnel.conf file should be:

Code: [Select]
# GMail
client=yes

# POP3 service, listens on localhost:11110
[gmail-pop3s]
accept=127.0.0.1:11110
connect=pop.gmail.com:995

# SMTP service, listens on localhost:11025
[gmail-smtps]
protocol=smtp
accept=127.0.0.1:11025
connect=smtp.gmail.com:587


Your avast4.ini file must have - among others things - into [MailScanner] section:

Code: [Select]
PopRedirectPort=110,11110
SmtpRedirectPort=25,11025
IgnoreLocalhost=0


Stunnel must be running and both Stunnel and ashMaiSv.exe must be allowed to connect the Internet into your firewall settings.

PopRedirectPort=110,11110
accept=localhost:120110
Should be ONLY 11110 and 110,11110

SmtpRedirectPort=25,11025
accept=localhost:12025
Should be ONLY 11025 and 25,11025

1) Yes, you must change the POP port for your GMail account in your mail client to 11110
2) You must change the SMTP port in GMail account in your mail client to 11025

3) Go to the Redirect tab of the Internet Mail provider and uncheck the Ignore local communications box
4) Click OK


Remember, as I said above, that you must not select a secure connection for your GMail account's POP & SMTP connections in your mail clinet.

It's exactly the contrary... you MUST change the ports and do NOT use SSL.

On the first picture, servers are 127.0.0.1 (and not the number of the ports).
On the second one, the ports are 11025 and 11110.
