Hi,
Just installed Avast a couple of days ago and having similar problems with Thunderbird. I've taken off the mail filter as it doesn't seem to want to let any emails come in, but my problem is that it doesn't want to let me send any emails.
The only address I can use is my Gmail, all my others won't send. I know that it's avast that's doing this as I uninstalled it to make absolutely sure. Of course without avast it works perfectly.
Also, I'm trying to follow the instructions given here. I downloaded the Hang file thingy to dump the... ashMaiSv.exe and upload it to the server, but no. Of course, I don't have the ashMaiSv.exe file in the list.
Is there anything, anything I can do to make my email work other than banish avast forever and have to make do with cr4p like avg...?
Thanks.
