Hi, today my Avast updated itself to version 7. It created a problem which I can't find anyone else reporting on these forums.
I configured Outlook to collect my Gmail acounts using the IMAP protocol. I've been using this setup for a long time.
The emails are still working fine but Avast is doing something strange. When I receive an email, if I look at it in my "Inbox" it is pure gibberish. When I look in the "All Mail" folder though there are 2 versions of the email there. One is the gibberish that I see in my "Inbox" the other is the email correctly formatted. For example, when I registered to post on these forums I was sent an email to confirm my registration. The first picture below is the email I got in my "Inbox", the 2nd is the copy that is with the first in the "All Mail" folder.
I tried just disabling the email scanner but then Outlook freezes while loading the profile.
I don't know why Avast is creating a gibberish copy and only putting that in my "Inbox" while keeping the original in my "All Mail" folder alongside the gibberish one.
