Hi everyone, for the longest time I’ve experienced problems with Thunderbird (Latest Version) and Avast products ranging from Avast Premier, Avast Internet Security and Avast Endpoint Protection Suite Plus.
When I first open Thunderbird I can send and receive emails for about 2 -3 minutes. After that first 2 - 3 minutes I can still occasionally receive messages when I click the “Get Messages” button, but I cannot send messages. I get the SMTP error message and I’ve attached a screen shot to show you.
I’ve added common Domains and Email addresses to the Whitelist in Avast and if I disable the Avast software it works just fine. Basically, each time this occurs which is all day every day, I close Thunderbird and reopen it immediately and it works for 2 minutes before stopping my ability to send emails with the SMTP error. This problem has occurred in all of the versions of Avast listed above and I’ve never found a solution. Also, I keep the Avast definitions and software up to date and am running the most recent version.
Let me know if you have any ideas because this is driving me nuts. Thanks so much for any ideas.
