Thank you for confirming the host names and ports.
If you placed port 465 and 995 into the settings of your email client then Avast will not filter the spam. You have to remember that you can not have your mail delivered directly to your email client. Avast needs to intercept it so that it can be scanned. This is why your email providers host name and ports need input into Avast. Then Avast communicates with your email client through ports 110 and 25.
email client <110,25> Avast! <995,465> email host
Do you have it set up exactly as I have shown you in the screenshots in reply #14? If not then it needs to be. Will you please provide me with screen shots of your NEW setup? Hopefully it looks exactly like what I posted in reply #14. If you are not going to set it up according to the screen shots in reply #14 then it will not work correctly.
Make your settings look exactly like what I have attached. After doing so then please post a screen print so I can double check these settings. This is almost an exact duplicate of what I posted in reply #14. You need to follow the instructions as written or this will never get solved. Remember, I can not see your computer so I am relying on your information and screen prints. I was thinking that my reply #14 had it covered.
In your email client advanced setting (Outlook):
incoming server (pop3) port 110
outgoing server (smtp) port 25
encryption unchecked
In your Avast Mail accounts:
1.
Host name - pop.att.yahoo.com
protocol - POP3
port - 995
encryption - SSL
Host name - smtp.att.yahoo.com
protocol - SMTP
port - 465
encryption - SSL
In outlook POP3 port is 110 SMTP is 25 for both email accounts I use.
In Avast the pop3 port is 995 for my incoming mail account.
I actually seem to have actually got the avast! anti-spam feature working now.
I had disabled the Avast Addin in Outlooks trust centre when I switched back to using Outlook to filter SPAM. However I noticed that although SPAM was now being detected and put in the junk mail folder configured in Outlook, that the Subject line was being updated as per the avast! expert settings … very odd. Just to convince myself the avast settings were being used I changed the message in avast and sure enough the new message was inserted in the Subject line. I have now re-enabled the avast addin which then seemed to reset all the Outlook junk mail settings and I now appear to be having no problems. SPAM is continuing to be filtered although curiously the junk mail folder being used is the one configured in the Outlook junk mail settings not the Avast settings.
There appears to be some sort of bug with the addin for Outlook 2007. To get avast! Antispam running for Outlook 2007, right click the application and select Run as Administrator. Then, in COM add-ins, check avast! Antispam. After that, uncheck avast! 5 in Exchange Client Extentions. It should work after this. Keep in mind that only POP email can be scanned for now.
