depends if you use Windows live mail for hotmail accounts in DeltaSync (default setup), or POP, or anything else using POP/IMAP + SMTP (supported by Avast mail shield).

Hi!

Thanks for your reply.

I understand, my account is configured by default

Do I have to change the parameters? big problem

[Hermite15]

what's your email provider ? hotmail?

[lifad]

Tnks

Yes is Hotmail my provider email

If your Hotmail account is webmail (can be viewed through your browser) then windows live mail is using DeltsSync to import the email. This is a Microsoft proprietary protocol that avast can't scan.

If this is a POP3 Hotmail account then there is something else in the mix ?

Tkns

I use DeltaSync (default setup) no Pop,

is necessary to modify the settings?

[DavidR]

No, it isn't necessary to change anything, as I said DeltaSync is a Microsoft proprietary protocol that can only be used by Microsoft email products, so avast can't physically scan it.

So nothing that you do can change that.

I am very satisfied with the performance of Avast 5
