Avast free 5.0.594 outlook 2010 incomming mail problem!!

[TheMrCaveman]

I Just installed a fresh windows 7 X64 on my computer
Installed avast free 5.0.594
Installed office 2010

When i want to setup my email i cannot receive mail in a pop3 account. :'(

Also have 1 imap account and 2 hotmail accounts in outlook, they work just fine.

I have the error message (0x800cccof)
Checked it on google and tryed it with avast turned off.

And i have no errror anymore.

Also tryed to change timeout bar in outlook but no result.

What can i do to change this?


Never had this problem with 4.8!

Will this help ?

avast! 5.x: The Mail Shield may not scan some e-mails

No that doesn't seem to help @ all

Turn off Scan inbound messages and Scan outbound messages in Mail Shield.

[TheMrCaveman]

that seems to help but does that mean my incoming mail is not checked at all?

Where do you have your mail accounts .....Hotmail / Gmail / Yahoo    if so they have spam/virus scanners on there mailservers

Microsoft is using TrendMicro
Yahoo Norton
Gmail McAfee and Authentium

I have 3 hotmail accounts
One account is from strato hosting
And one account from tele2.

But i found out everything is covered.

Thanks for helping me out!

I keep Windows Defender updated manually every morning through its portal:
Latest definition version: 1.89.565.0
http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Definitions/ADL.aspx

I use its default settings but I do change it to run a Quick scan every morning.

I have exactly the same issue :'(, Avast 5, windows 7(32bit), Office 2010, no SSL.
Did you come up with a solution other than disabling the 'Scan inbound messages'?
