MailSheild won't add/save my email settings for Thunderbird
« on: February 16, 2011, 08:23:58 PM »
I am using Avast v5 free edition. I am using Thunderbird for my Email client. When enable the AV through the MailSheild my Thunderbird will not send/recieve emails, but when I disable it I am able to send/recieve the emails. Then when I tried to add my email settings for i.e. (pop.mydomain.net) then the port and so fort then click add it will not add/save the settings. Can someone help me in this area?

Thanks a million.

See - avast! 5.x: SSL Problems The Mail Shield may not scan some e-mails - see http://support.avast.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=458.

What is your ISP/email server domain and do they require SSL/TLS ?
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.2.6105 (build 24.2.8918.824) UI 1.0.799/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

My ISP is Suddenlink.net

Pop server for incoming email is: pop.suddenlink.net
Smtp sever for outgoing email is: smtp.suddenlink.net

the port settings are

Pop for incoming is: 110
Outgoing: 25

Server doesn't use SSL/TLS

Check the SSL/TLS settings in avast mail shield:

Open avast! --> "Real time shields" tab --> "Mail Shield" tab --> "Expert settings" --> SSL settings

This is steps 2 & 3 in DavidR's link. Change the values to none, if they are not already set.
