Avast 5 - Blocks Microsoft Outlook 2010 from Sending emails

I am using

Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
Intel i7 860 " 2.80ghz, 16gb ram
Avast 5.0.595 version 100826-1 (Full Version)
2010 - Microsoft Office - Outlook
`
I just loaded Microsoft Office 2010 with Outlook and setup my email information as per the old computer - all works finr until I try to send an email

I can receive emails but when I send then they remain in the OUT box and an error code is as follows

Task ‘brianbeebe@shaw.ca - Sending’ reported error (0x800CCC67) : ’ The server responded: 421 Cannot connect to SMTP server 24.71.223.43 (24.71.223.43:587), connect error 10060’

I contact Shaw Cable our Internet Provider and worked with them
If we disable AVAST I can send & receive emails okay.
When we turn Avast ON I can not send any emails (but can still receive them)

After setting up Outlook an AVAST notice box appeared on the screen asking to turn off the SSL- but Outlook did not have a check box to turn off this SSL

AVAST has detected a secure connection from your mail program (Process Outlook.exe) to the SMTp server ##.##.###.##.

This type of connection cannot be checked for viruses. Please disable the SSL/TLS in your mail client so that the mail scanner can scan your mail. The mail scanner will provide the SSl/TLS security itself.


If you go into the Outlook --Change Account – Internet Email Setting --Advanced – it indicates the following:
Server Port Numbers:
Incoming server (POP3): 110 [use Defaults]
(Check Box) This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL) – Comment-This check box was left unchecked
Outgoing server (SMTP): 25
Use the following type of encryptrd connection: NONE, SSL, TLS, AUTO --Comment I left “NONE” slected

So I closed the Avast Notice box and have not seen it again - but now I can not send emails

Help - Need advice ASAP as emails are piling up

Hi,
I seemed to have the same problem as you at the same time ~ I went to system restore and restored my computer to an earlier date and all is well now.

Hope it works for you

Still can not get AVAST to stop blocking the Send Receive
