Hi there, have thunderbird 24 with windows 8 64bit, avast 8 anti virus pro. Problem is it does not scan inbond emails on ssl. Is this normal for avast or a big problem they have , from what I’m reading in the forums. I just use the one email account now which is google set to imap in thnderbird. everything used to work fine before avast 8. Any chance of a workaround.

Google protect all Gmail accounts with postini spam/virus filter using two AV engines from Authentium and McAfee … so that account is already protected.
