I cannot receive my emails since the last update ( 498 ).

I'm using Tbird with K9. It was working perfectly before the update.

As soon as i turn off the mail providers , it is working again.
I don't even see the ashmailsv icon in the taskbar anymore  :'(

So it just hangs? Or how does it behave, exactly?
This is XP SP2?

Yes i'm using WinXP with SP2 and Tbird with the regular settings.

I mean no 127.0.0.1/110/user.name#pop.server.net settings with K9.
Just the regular ones.

I guess we can say that Tbird timeout.

Unity, configure the email account as avast! does not exists  8)

New email detection is automatic and do not require user interaction.

Anyway, spam killer applications need that you manually change the email account settings according to their settings  ;)

If you search for the word K9 in the board you will find how other users solve this  8)

Sorry Eddy
I also thought this was the place to post problems with avast!4.5
I also have a problem with Mailwasher Pro being scanned.

Why do you call it a problem? This is by design.

In 4.1, it was like
mail client  ---- avast ---- mailwasher ---- mail server


In 4.5, it's like
mailclient  ---- mailwasher ---- avast ---- mail server


What's the problem?

I use Mailwasher differently (as do a number of others I know). Mailwasher - Mail Client > avast > server/inbox

4.1 - I run MW first (no change to original account settings, no 127.0.0.1 changes, etc.), this deletes email from the server and hands off to OE. I then download remaining emails left on the server and avast scans them into OE inbox.

So there is no checking of the small portion of each email MW downloads to analyse and no possibility of double avast headers. This however, may change with 4.5 (I can't say I have yet to upgrade to 4.5 beta).
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

You can always swith off the automatic scanning in avast! 4.5 mail scanner and use it exactly as before (eg. vers 4.1) - as far as you believe, there are no viruses targeted for k9 and/or you're waiting for the first one to infect you.  ;)

Btw it was working perfectly with the 495 and 497 build.

Might I ask for some more detailed info: Does it work without K9? Does it work in K9 directly? Does it work in some other mail client on your PC? What are your account settings (username, server, port)? What port does K9 listen on  (default 9999) ? What port does ashMaiSv.exe listen on (default 110)?

Also, you might have a look at this thread, it's concerning "problems" with k9 as well. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=11;action=display;threadid=8099;start=msg65888#msg65888

Bye.
