Well, I update the program when it tells me that there’s an update available. As far as I recall, it hasn’t done that yet. I’m updating it now.

So, if I understand this right, if my mail server requires encryption & specific ports (I believe Gmail does), I need to enter that info into the Avast Mail Shield Settings dialog, but NOT into my mail program. The mail program settings should be left as default. Then everything should work fine.

So why did I not get a warning about an encrypted connection when setting up my Gmail accounts in Outlook? They are set as encrypted.
