Avast! and Thunderbird!

[reckor]

I tried in other topic but nobody saves me   \
One more time.. hehehee

First of all, i use K9 to keep my mail box free of spam.  So , i need to change some of my configuration in TB to him understand what´s going on ... .

But (we always have a but  )  i think AVAST! does not like TB because it can´t control my accounts. I read Technical´s avast4.ini support but it didn´t work.

What i´m supposed to do?

I tried this:

[MailScanner]
DefaultPopServer=pop.mail.yahoo.com.br          (i tried it)
DefaultSmtpServer=smtp.mail.yahoo.com.br      ( i tried it)
ShowTrayIcon=1
UseDefaultSmtp=0
AutoSetProtection=1
PopListen=127.0.0.1:9999  ( i tried this one)
SmtpListen=127.0.0.1:9999  ( i tried  too )


The port 9999  is from my K9 and i need to configure my incoming server like it:

Server name = 127.0.0.1
User name = pop.mail.yahoo.com.br/110/myname
Port: 9999

And my outgoing :

Server name = smtp.mail.yahoo.com.br
User name = myname



Thanks !!!!

Many people are using both thunderbird and K9 in combination with avast. Yes there are some manual tweaks required.

A quick search on thunderbird (and K9, not necessarily in the same search) on these forums should return  some information and hopefully a solution to your problem

Okay.  No problem . I´m using K9 with Thunderbird and AVAST!. To configure your email account you just need to use this settings:

In Account Settings / Server Settings:

Server name: 127.0.0.1
User Name: 127.0.0.1/110/username#pop.server.name
Port: 9999 (this is the port in k9)


You don´t need to change anything in SMTP configuration.

That´s it. I read this in other topic here.

Users, please, listen to David...  

Yeah Technical. I listened !

Bye bye !

Thanks for taking the time to post your resolution.

It really does help others using the search function to help resolve their problems.
