Ok, sorry for this…I know I am opening up a can of worms…but…
Average joe user here with another installment of…
Why do we make life difficult?
I use the Firefox browser, NoScript and AdBlock installed.
I too use Gmail.
There is a very simple reason why I use Gmail…
I get to do all the things with mail as if I have it on my system…
without having it on my system.
This seems to take care of that whole…“What about the email nasties?” question
that I see over an over. Now before some of you have a cow over this, know this one simple fact…
I have been using Gmail, both personal AND for business and I have not run into anything that I needed to do that I could not do using the gmail servers.
I personally do not use the email scanner because I simply do not need to.
Now, I am NOT suggesting that you abandon the email scanner, I am just asking you
to consider the fact that you may not NEED to download email to your system.
Just something else to consider.
Ok, you may all have a cow now. :

Its not working fine for most. Hence all of the post regarding the “G-hell” issue. Check out the snaps of my TH 2.0 and Avast settings above.
Isn’t this essentially the same problem raised in an earlier post?
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=59696.0
I don’t know why the problem exists, but the last post in that thread provides the fix.
I think it was covered in a post while I was typing.
It is working well for me now.

Don’t know how it got changed, but the gmail.com POP3 account should show port 995 with encryption set to SSL, not none. So you can change it from that page. Do you not look at the posted pictures? Are you not using gmail smtp? It should show up here with port 587 and TLS. Try setting the comcast smtp to TLS on the avast! SSL accounts if that is what you are using.
As far as Gmail specifically, all inbound and outbound email is scanned by a very effective virus scanner at the server end, so if you want to bypass the avast! email scanner there is not a great deal of danger. If you are using some other email server, YMMV, which is where the avast! scanner becomes more useful.
use imap for GMAIL
Examples for Thunderbird:
In: imap.googlemail.com port: 143
Out: smtp.googlemail.com port: 25
and disable all security conections.
Configure you count in gmail habilite imap
In avast:
delete all accounts SSL, avast create automatic again the account SSL´s in few minutes
Sorry my english
Good Luck
I was thinking the same think. I think you might be right.
Gee, thanks for sharing. ???
Its working. ;D
All I did is checked gmail’s SSL. Go figure.
