My old hard drive died, and when I took the computer in for repair the techs installed Avast, which I have never used before. (always had AVG) but I am willing to give it a try. I am popping my Gmail into my Thunderbird account, along with mail from an organization, and I need to have both scanned. From what I read, popped mail is not automatically scanned by Avast, so I need directions, in baby steps, on how to set this up. I have not even been able to find where to access the various settings.
The Gmail settings I currently have are: Server name, Pop.gmail.com, port 995, Outgoing server for the gmail is STMP.gmail.com.
The other one is mail.raogk.org, port 110, and the outgoing settings are mail.raogk.org, port 25.
I am using XP, home edition, Avast 4.8 and Tbird V2.0.0.14
