Follow-up:
After yesterday’s buffer overrun, and subsequent bypass of 127.0.0.1, and successful download of mail messages, I re-set things to put Avast! back in the chain between my client and the POP server as usual and everything was fine.
But this morning, during the ritual download of the night’s messages + tons of spam, the overrun occured again. Avast does not provide information on what message is causing the problem.
It is not clear whether the troublesome message remains on the POP server or has downloaded before Avast packed up. If it does remain on the server, then I can find it by bypassing Avast again and downloading messages directly.
Question: does the Avast team read these forums or should I contact Support directly about this? They need to know that some ugly message is messing up the program.
