In the past two years, VZ and Avast confirmed that I should NOT do my verizon.net email account setting as SSL through the new ports because that would PREVENT my Avast anti-virus from checking the emails and attachments in and out.
Now, I just discovered that VZ recommends new verizon.net account settings with SSL.
But what about the relationship with Avast anti-virus? WHAT IS THE CORRECT WAY TO DO THE NEW SSL VERIZON.NET EMAIL SETTINGS WITH AVAST ANTI-VIRUS?
Thanks.

Pondus - thanks for fast reply, but I need a step-by-step. I use Outlook Express with [myname]@verizon.net. What should I do?
Of course they would recommend that as they really haven’t got a clue as to what security application/s you have installed. They simply don’t know that avast handles the secure connection side not your email program.
Essentially it is the same as your old OE account settings if it wasn’t setup to use SSL and don’t do secure authentication.
David R - You referred to “they” - do you mean verizon?
Anyway, I need a step-by-step with the right settings in both Outlook Express and Avast Free (version 7.0.1474) on WinXPPro SP3.
Thanks.
This video is for Outlook Office, but it can give you an idea how it is done.
