No scanned count in internet mail

My OS is Windows ME, I use Outlook Express to download my email.
I am running three modules, Internet mail, Standard shield and web shield. Standard and Web shield seem to be updating all the time but Internet mail, the scanned count always stays at zero (0). So is it working and if not what do I check to get it to work? Also Web shield, to get it to work I had to use the 127.0.0.1 IP address and 12080 port.
Thanks
Joe

If you have Windows 98\Me, the change of the login settings is normal while using avast. See http://forum.avast.com/index.php?action=display;board=2;threadid=7913;start=0#msg64228

You should have something like this:

pop3 server= smtp server = 127.0.0.1
username = mail.server.coml#user or mail.server.com#user@server.com
smtp authentication enabled and the username there = mail.server.coml#user or mail.server.com#user@server.com

Thanks Tech, the link and your info led me into the light, its now working.
