We won’t give up :wink:
Under the section [MailScanner]
add a line saying :
AutoRedirect=0

So that it looks like
[MailScanner]
AutoRedirect=0

Try to receive mail again.
If it fails leave the line there for now and first run ashPopWz.exe from the Avast folder.
Try to receive the mail again.

If it still fails remove
AutoRedirect=0
