don't use OE - Turnpike's my client.

What ever you use there is still a setting for timouts. Is that also set for 300?

[BPSCG]

BPSCG, how do you configure your email account?
The new mail detection that will work automatically. Please, set up your email account just as avast does not exists. It will detect the pop3/smpt/imap ports and scan your messages.

I did that. Went back to my ISP's excellent help page for setting up Eudora, set it up exactly as they prescribed, as if avast! didn't exist.

Of course, if you use a spam killer, the settings will be describe in help files or the website of the spam killer manufacturer.

I use Spamnix as my spam killer - it's a Eudora plugin. It's a FILTER - it doesn't do anything until the email has been downloaded. As I explained in an earlier post, I can't even establish a mail connection with the avast! internet mail provider active, let alone download it for the spam filter to do its job.

Btw, which is your OS?

OS = Windows XP, SP2 installed. I installed the avast! v. 4.5.529 beta as recommended above, and rebooted. I've reverted to my standard email server/domain (i.e., I removed the 127.0.0.1 domain that earlier versions of avast! required).

Your explanation of what you did is fine but you forgot to tell us if it fixed your problem.

Sorry - no, it didn't.

I'm having problems too. I run W98. I use Outlook for my business and am having no problem there sending or receiving email. But in Outlook Express I can receive mail but can't seem to send it without changing the properties of the server back to the pop.server.net and stmp.server.net and account name. Then it lets me send once (i think) before it reverts to hanging and giving me this message:

The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was 'kcalla@server.net'. Subject 'test', Account: 'My Internet-Mail', Server: '127.0.0.1', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '530 5.7.1 Relaying not allowed: kcalla@server.net', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 530, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

I'm not a HUGE computer whiz so please reply in language I can understand! Thanks!

KCalla, avast! works with multiple smtp/pop servers and can protect as many pop3/smtp server accounts as you want. If you click CTRL+ALT+DEL do you see ashMaiSv.exe running?

If not, can you do:

1. Configure your email accounts to work without the antivirus and test them.
2. If everything is fine, close all your email clients (programs).
3. Start Menu > All programs > avast antivirus > Mail Protection Wizard
4. Follow the non Outlook/Exchange option (i.e., the second one).
    You can choose the supported email programs and select all the accounts
    (even the ones created in the future).
5. Configure your email accounts to use avast! as antivirus.

Note: the pop/smtp default servers are just the 'default' ones. They would be used to send files to Alwil Software (for virus analysis, for instance) and in special email accounts configurated to use 'default' servers.

Hope this helps.

What version of avast! you are running ? There is new program update 4.5.531 available. Update your antivirus manually if it's not updated yet and see if that solves your problem...

[KCalla]

Thanks!
ashMaiSv.exe was running.
I reconfigured my email accounts and sent 5 emails from OE and it's working! So far so good!

Running 4.5.523 - tried to update and it said program is up to date.

Thanks SO much for your help. Hope I'm not back whining later! *S*

[S.Z.Craftec]

No, it's not up to date... see my screenshot... even 4.5.529 was between these two. See here:

True, it was BETA, but it was available for download in these forums...

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=9007

Current one is 4.5.531 (regular program update, not beta)

[DavidR]

The 4.5.531 update is only available to those who have the been using the beta builds (and changed the file to be able to receive the beta builds) after the 4.5.523 official release version.

If you still have the official .523 build you won't be offered the .531 (beta build) as an auto update or using manual update.

It would appear that KCalla is still using the official 4.5.523 build, although his post is in the 4.5 BETA thread.

time out set to 480 secs.

works fine if I turn off outbound checking

Yes you're right DavidR... I already mentioned that in this thread...

but unfortunately, we can not cover all those threads... people are coming with those problems like mushrooms after the rain

Hi,

I installed Avast, XP Home Edition and MS Outlook with 3 well configured and tested e-mail accounts.

Since few days ago, when Avast were auto-updated to 4.5.523 version, a problem occurs every 10 minutes: an alert message Timeout connecting 217.116.0.XXX port 110  .

Retry or Cancel options has the same result: the message appears again after 10 minutes  .

I have no problems with sending or receiving e-mail messages (no authentication needed to connect with my mailserver).

Avast Plug-in run on MS Outlook start, as habitual.

What's the problem ? Thank you
