Avast! not scanning Thunderbird 0.7.2
« on: July 13, 2004, 07:40:43 PM »
I'm running Thunderbird 0.7.2, and Avast! Home.  When installing Avast!, I selected to automatically protect my current accounts and any in the future, but none of my emails are getting scanned.  I can open the Avast! manager and it shows no emails scanned.  When I check the account settings in Thunderbird, the mail server and logon have not changed, as they should.  What's up?  Does Avast! not support this version of Thunderbird?

Does thunderbird use SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 protocols?

It doesn't support Thunderbird directly regardless of version, but you can set it up manually.

Do a search of the forums for thunderbird and you should bump into one of the many threads on this subject

Uhhh....I don't mean to quibble, but I've been running Avast and Thunderbird for over a year, and Avast did set up Thunderbird...at least until the latest revision of TB.

I tried the manual setup, and when I asked TB to get mail, it told me it couldn't connect to the 127.0.0.1 server...

And yes, TB uses POP3...

 ??? ???

I don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that the 0.7.2 version is a nightly build and classed as beta by the builders, it is not yet available as a regular download.

Has something changed, I don't know.

I based my response on posts in these forums, I don't have TB installed. There have been many people posting that they experienced problems with earlier versions of TB, as in it wouldn't setup automatically and had to be done manually. These were answered and I assume that resolved their problems.

I'll see if I can download an older version and see if that'll work.  Thanks for the replies.  I'll post back here with the results, but it'll probably be tomorrow.

I made sure my login name was correct when I was doing the manual installation, but it still didn't work.  When I used 127.0.0.1 for the server, and put in my login name like the above, TB told me it couldn't connect to the server, and the Avast service was started.  It must be a bug in the 0.7.2 TB build.  I didn't have a chance to load 0.7.1 last night, but hope to have time to do it today.

I'll keep you informed.

I'm running TB 0.7.1 at home and at work.  The home installation, with Avast! Home, is working fine.  The work installation, with the demo of Avast! Professional, worked the day I set it up, but since then tells me it can't connect to the server  (the computer is shut down completely overnight).  The only difference in the two installations, besides the two versions of Avast!, is that my work computer is connected to a LAN.  Both installations are monitoring the same IMAP account, and both use the same internet service, so the server settings are indentical.  I'm guessing that something needs to be changed to work with the LAN, but I hesitate to start fiddling with settings when I don't really have any idea which settings to fiddle.   :-\

I am running Thunderbird 0.7.2 and Avast Home. I have my T.B. configuration set to 127.0.0.1 on both Pop3 and STMP settings, port 25, and 110. I also set up avast to insert the messages that it has scanned both incoming and outgoing e-mail. Works fine for me. Using WinXp Home etc. :)

Neil, I think it should read:
on both Pop3 and STMP settings, port 110, and 25

Right?
