I’ve uninstalled & reinstalled Avast but still get the errors.
Outlook plug-in is enabled - Tools | Options | Other | Advanced Options | Add-in Manager | avast! 4
Disabling the plug-in stops the error messages of course.
Need any more info?
EDIT: I’m also getting these same error messages when sending emails with attachments.
I had to use system restore on my Win Xp machine after the latest program update because Outlook Express would crash with a “cannot connect to imap server” error which would continually loop and spill the errors over the page. After restore Avast is now at version 4.7.942 again with no problems. Unfortunately I neglected to reset program update to"manual" so the program automatically updated again…back to the restore again perhaps?
Digiti, are you using a firewall? Maybe it’s just because you haven’t enabled the new ashMaiSv.exe to access the Internet (in your firewall configuration).
I am getting the exact same error after the latest update too. I’m running a Windows 98SE machine with Outlook 2000. I get the error message when I receive a new email, try to read a new email, and when I try to send an email. I’m assuming that the Avast program is not being able to scan the email. But I have no idea how to fix it. I’m open for suggestions too because I would like to get this fixed.
