Okay, I tried this on two different workstations running the 8.x client:
Yesterday on a Win 7 Ultimate machine running as a domain administrator, I unchecked the “Scan SSL Connections” box in the client GUI. This solved the problem on Eudora 6.x for all POP/SMTP accounts for this user at the time. No recurrences have been reported for this user today. Since this problem can recur several days after attempting to apply a “fix”, this does not mean the problem is fixed permanently, but so far this morning it’s working for this user.
However, today on a different Win 7 Ultimate machine running as a restricted domain user, I unchecked the “Scan SSL Connections” box. Although the settings change persisted through a reboot, this did NOT fix the problem for Eudora 6.x for this user.
Can I get a response from a forum moderator regarding this ongoing bug, PLEASE??? What is Avast! doing about this???
