Hi Culpeper,

I guess you already tried changing the "@" with "/" in your email client user id?
I've tried everything, but your idea about [b] yourname#pop.yourisp.com@127.0.0.1[/b] and I tried several combinations on your suggestion.

;D By accident I stumbled on the solution:

In case others are interested, I’ll post it here:

I’ve set Spam off on POP3=111
and the following settings for my e-mail client:
Server = 127.0.0.1:111
Username = User/POP3#127.0.0.1

Leave the Avast4.ini alone. Let it use 110 and 25 by default.
Doesn't that interfere with Avast? It isn't clearly indicated in the help file? Better would be some real examples (= FAQ's). Sure there's enough material to use from this forum.

;D I’m glad I finally struggled through with your much appreciated help.

:wink: Thanks again for everything.

Eric
