Avast 4 Home blocking access to one address in OE
« on: December 19, 2009, 09:40:09 PM »
I have had to install Avast4Home on my computer but it is now blocking  my access  via Outlook Express to collect mail from an address I have  on the server
http://webmail.supanet.com/webmail/src/login.php



I have checked that my username and password are correct in OE for this email address

what should my OE setting be please  for the Avast Antivirus program; all my other  Email  addresses have no problems retrieving emails and this problem started only recently

Many Thanks

avast does not block, just scan and, if infected, quarantine the infection.
Which is your firewall? Is ashMaiSv.exe allowed to connect? Are others email accounts working into OE?

all other email  addresses are working  OK

If you're using Windows Firewall, well, you can forget as it does not block outbound connections. So, it's not the problem.
Sorry, I'm not an expert on mail things...

This is on a Windows 98SE machine and sadly it has only occurred since I have had to  change to Avast and my antivirus program and then only since I think a recently program update; prior to that  all my OE addresses connected and downloaded without problems ; it is now only the Supanet one that is giving probelms

Remove Mail Shield. 

Go to Add/Remove Programs then remove the Mail Shield.

All files are scanned by avast! on access providing adequate protection.

There is no Mail Shield in my Add/Remove Programs

NOR  is there any Outlook Express shield section in my ON access Protection Control

This only started when there was a recent Avast program update

MY curiosity is why this this only happening on ONE email address with supanet and all my other addresses are OK; what should my OE settings be  for supanet with Avast?

My continued further research has found http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/tips/mail-settings.html

and I have changed a setting in OE as a consequence

I have  now managed to retrieve mails from the Supanet server via OE...for the time being......
