Vlk, I have avast version 4.5.523. The error I get from OE is “Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Subject ‘test’, Account: ‘pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com’, Server: ‘smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com’, Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F”
I get the police light in the task bar as avast checks the email but, it won’t allow the message through. The only way I seem to be able to send email is if I turn off avast. I have no problem receiving email. The problem is only when I try to send email.
Vlk, one of my computers is exactly the same. I can receive but can’t send… I’m working on it. Of course, XP SP2 and 4.5.523.
My other computer (this one), working perfectly.

Technical,
Same trouble here. My XP is ok with OE now. I had to reconfigure.
My ME machine went down as well using Thunderbird. New 4.5 would not configure, and Avast would not scan mail. I had to use the 127.0.0.1 settings again for it to work.
Unfortunately, my W98 with OE is a mess since 4.5 and thusfar, I cannot get my email scanned and the SMTP side is down.
What the heck is going on???
And where is the Avast team on this???
Too many users have had serious trouble with 4.5
Is anyone working on a fix or new build?
???

Techie are you using the old port settings on your 98 machine? 110 and 25? Can’t use the new ones with 98… I figure you already know that ? Thought I’ld ask anyway. From what Ive been able to figure out and reading some things VLk has said, with 98 you still use the 127.0.0.1 and the port settings the same as with 4.1… and run the Mail Wizard Ive had no problems with OE on either 98 machine here… also using ZA (updated)

Connie,
Thanks for the clarification but I just finished fixing the W98 machine. Yes, W98 only works with the “old” settings of 127.0.0.1 and the # format in the POP and SMTP addresses.
As I said, XP works ok with the 4.5, but Thunderbird only works the old way. I have to update TB to the new .9 and see what happens.
Right now, all my email is working on my 3 machines.
What a nightmare for 2 days!
Still don’t know if any fix is in the works.
Oh well. It makes life interesting. ;D

Techie 101 has been working with me on my problem with OE. We made no changes in my system etc. He was just evaluating and checking some settings.
Then Avast 4.5.423 appeared. After the restart, everything worked fine.
(I hope)
Techie, for me TB .9 works at XP with the new system of avast 4.5 (I did not test the old 4.1). 8)

I had 24 hours of the email working perfectly.
I am now receiving the error message again, but if I am persistent and keep trying it eventually connects.
I spoke too soon.
