I´m on line right now like you. Try to do this:
- Remove avast protection from the emails (2nd option from Mail Wizard)
- Start Outlook Express. Could you receive emails?
- If yes, close Outlook
- Run Mail Protection Wizard again choosing the 1st option (with the checkbox “Automatically protect… in the future”.
I use Outlook Express and MailWasher too, this operation works to me…
