Could the problem I'm having be related?
I'm suddenly (as in last night it was fine, this morning it was a problem) getting errors when I attempt to check POP email via Thunderbird (not for all of my email accounts, just the ones on a particular server). If I turn off Avast, it works just fine.
Outgoing mail is okay -- it's just incoming that's the problem.
Thunderbird version 3.0.4
Avast Program 5.0.545
Avast Engine & Definitions 100527-0 (just updated overnight, so maybe that caused the issue?)
Email settings are pop.secureserver.net and Port: 110
The error message has "Alert" in the title bar, and then a message of:
An error occurred with the POP3 mail server. Mail server pop.secureserver.net responded:
(There's nothing else after that -- it's blank underneath.)
Thanks for any insight.
