Avast not scanning imap gmail in thunderbird.

I have stunnel and openssl set up and I have avast set to redirect imap traffic from port 11143 (the port I have set for Stunnel to redirect the gmail traffic). But the email scanner still does not open.

Have you checked out this topic/post using add-ons rather than STunnel:

Thank you. I had to reinstall and forgot to uncheck the ignore local communications box.

You’re welcome, thankfully you have it working now.

avast 5 when released you won’t have to do this to cater for SSL connections.
