I’ve read and tried a few posting here in the forum to get the combination of Avast, Poco and K9 going, but did not yet succeed.
Is there anyone who can shed some light on this topic. Thanks.
Better is searching for K9…
I think Pocomail will work like other email clients.
I think the best you can do is download the version 4.5 Beta because it uses a new mail detection that will work automatically. Please, set up your email account just as avast does not exists. It will detect the pop3/smpt/imap ports and scan your messages.

Can you make a try and see if it’s ok? Thanks.
got it working for 4.1:
Settings for K9:
“Default” (listens on port 9999)
Settings in AVAST.INI in \DATA subfolder:
[MailScanner]
DefaultPopServer=localhost
Settings in POCOMAIL:
Account settings:
Server: localhost:9999
Username: localhost/110/username#POP3-servername
Additional rule in Outpost 2.5:
for ASHMAISV.EXE
protocol: TCP
direction: incoming
remote-host: localhost
= allow
Remember that maybe you’ll need to change the settings with the 4.5 version.
It’s really better update to 4.5 as it will have better detection rates. Anyway, 4.5 is supposed to change automatically the email settings but when the user has a spam killer most probably the changes will require manual adjust 8)
It's really better update to 4.5
Could you point me to the download URL?
Sure, but better than a URL, follow the instructions here:
