How to configure Avast! Home to scan more than one incoming email account

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Using various posts from this forum I got Avast to scan inbound email over stunnel. This was working great but I noticed that one of my accounts wasn’t being scanned for inbound but all of them were being scanned for outbound. The fix was to add another accept/connect for the same email service.

In my case I have two gmail accounts, so I now have two entries for gmail:

[gmail-imaps]
accept = localhost:1993
connect = imap.gmail.com:993

[gmail-imaps2]
accept = localhost:1994
connect = imap.gmail.com:993

I have one account configured for gmail-imaps and the other for gmail-imaps2 and Avast! now scans inbound for both. I don’t know why this has to be configured this way, but it was the only way that I could get it to work.

Have fun!

You can use one entry for multiply gmail accounts… I do so with pop3/smtp. Not sure about imap. I use the same port and the same stunnel.conf for more than one gmail account.
