I have two user profiles in Windows 98 SE. If I Logoff one profile and login to the other one, when Avast! comes up it displays three windows with three different error messages:
“will not be protecting incoming mail (IMAP). Error 10093”
“will not be protecting incoming mail (POP). Error 0”
“will not be protecting outgoing mail (SMTP). Error 10093”
And then I can’t even send/receive e-mail, because my e-mail client is set to use Avast! via 127.0.0.1…
And the only solution is to reboot.
It seems that if I reboot and login to the other profile it works OK. The problem is logging out one and in to the other.
If you run Mail Protection Wizard (Start menu > All programs > avast antivirus) and configure avast to automatic protect all your email accounts, you will set the avast Mail service (ashMaiSv.exe) to automatically run in that user.
The last guess is: did you un-check the Internet Mail provider, i.e., is it enabled or not (check the ‘a’ icon on system tray).

Didn’t work for me.
But please notice: I am only using The Bat! right now, and I am NOT using the support for The Bat! supplied in Avast! (because it woudl crash The Bat!). I configured everything manually through Avast’s INI file (SMTP, etc.), and changed my POP settings in The Bat! to use 127.0.0.1, etc. (I only changed POP - trying to use Avast! to scan SMTP caused messages with attachments to sometimes not be sent).
So, having Avast! automatically protect all accounts won’t really make a difference in my case.

That’s what I tried first time, but once the plug-in was
installed, The Bat! would simply not start, it would crash
immediately. So I set it all up manually.
But maybe that could not have to do with the problem I’m getting when logging off one user an on to another. I ran the Mail WIzard, and selected to protect all accounts, etc. (even though my The bat! accounts don’t appear in the list).
I notice that if I run the WIzard when the e-mail
protection is not working (symptoms described in my first message in the forum, error messages), once it stops the service and starts it again, it begins to work!
