Avast 5.0 Free Antivirus - Problems with mail?

MS Outlook and Avast 5.0 Free Antivirus not allowed to connect to hmailserver account pop3.
pause shields - connect to hmailserver account pop3.

Hi Sargoni,

Welcome to the forum,

You may try to disable mail shield and try to pull your inbound email, then see what happening. After that you may compared with turn on your avast! mail shield.

I am not sure, is it caused by avast!. Do you have any issues like this before using avast!?

cheers,

I am getting similar problem guy’s
