Thanks, Vlk - if nothing else, it’s nice to hear that it probably wasn’t something I personally messed up. :slight_smile:

I’m a little surprised that stopping the intermail provider entirely didn’t clear up the problem.

I’d guess that my best choice at this point might be to use the Add/Remove Programs/Change and take out the email provider? And of course change Eudora’s server settings back to “normal”. Or do your experts think there might be something else in avast involved too, besides that provider? I’ll give it a try, anyway, can’t hurt anything that I can think of.

Thanks again, and best,
Mike
