In my Avast Free version 23.9.6082 - build 23.9.8494.795 (and my AVG Free 23.9.3302 - build 23.9.8494.795, too, installed in another computer) after the nowadays 795 micro-update, the function of scanning the incoming and outgoing messages, in my case through the IMAP/SMTP protocols, blocks arrival, updating and sending e-mails.
As soon as I disable the options “Scan inbound emails (POP3, IMAP4)” and “Scan outbound emails (SMTP)”, the mail program (Thunderbird in my case) resumes to work immediately and the messages (and mail folders) are again downloaded/synchronized/sent (my providers are Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, etc.).
Please, could some confirm or help me.
Thank you so much in advance and sorry for my terrible English! :-[
