What to do, if it does not?

Iz simply close connection just after: kegl AUTHENTICATE NTLM

Second imap account without SPA works ok.

  • OK Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 IMAP4rev1 server version 6.5.7226.0 (xxxxxxxxxx) ready.

pxnm CAPABILITY

  • CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 IDLE LOGIN-REFERRALS MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE LITERAL+ UIDPLUS CHILDREN AUTH=NTLM
    pxnm OK CAPABILITY completed.

kegl AUTHENTICATE NTLM

Connection to host lost.

I think not…
avast works with IMAP but not with SPA… (I could be wrong).
For instance, there is some threads about SSL and POP3 accounts:

to use SSL with other clients and also have the protection of avast.
