Avast is causing Thunderbird to not work. Has anyone else had this issue or similar error message to the ones I get? I posted them below and and in two other replys to this post. If anyone uses thunderbird 3 and Avast 5, can you please post you settings? I would really appreciate it.
My e-mail worked fine until I installed Avast. I can no longer send e-mails and Avast does not even scan in- or out- going mail.
TB says:
“Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server smtp.gmail.com timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator.”
When I disable all SSL:
“Sending of message failed.
An error occurred sending mail: Unable to authenticate to SMTP server smtp.gmail.com. It does not support authentication (SMTP-AUTH) but you have chosen to use authentication. Uncheck ‘Use name and password’ for that server or contact your service provider.”
In Avast:
Troubleshoot settings are all clear fields.
IN THUNDERBIRD:
For IMAP (gmail)
Port 993
For POP (gmail)
Port 995
For POP (live)
Port 995
For SMTPs
gmail (IMAP)- Port 587
Gmail (POP)- port 587
live - port 465
Any Ideas??? I’m starting to go crazy! I attached some screen shots…
