if I disable SLL in my Gmail account in OE (as the video states) my gmail will not work!
So I can't do that.
Yes you can. You are missing the point.
Gmail requires SSL. You EITHER set it in your email client (OE) OR in Avast, not both and not in neither, but MUST be one (and only one) of them.
What is wrong with the action I have taken to stop the notice?
Isn't the mail scanned by Gmail?
If:
_OE without SSL for gmail account; AND
_Avast with SSL for gmail account
then you can receive and send emails for that gmail account, AND avast also scans them.
If:
_OE with SSL for gmail account; AND
_Avast without SSL for gmail account
then you can receive and send emails for that gmail account, AND avast will NOT scan them (only the built in gmail protection in their server will scan for malware).
If either:
_OE with SSL for gmail account; AND also
_Avast with SSL for gmail account
OR
_OE without SSL for gmail account; AND also
_Avast without SSL for gmail account
then you can NOT receive and send emails for that gmail account.
HTH.
