Thunderbird pop/smtp 1und1 problem

Viruses and worms

When I check my email or want to send email via Thunderbird the following “harmful webpage or file” message appears:

This should not happen, as I’m just checking email. As far as I know my pc configuration did not change and there wasn’t a problem before with thunderbird.

Avast settings
NO SSL Email checking

Thunderbird account settings
RECEIVE
Server: pop.1und1.com
Port: 995
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
Authentication Method: Normal Password

SEND
Server: smtp.1und1.com
Port: 465
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
Authentication Method: Normal Password

As far as I know, this is a false positive.

Did it, thanks.

Also, until this issue is resolved, a workaround would be great. I tried the following w/o success:

  • Webshield Settings / Processes to exclude: thunderbird
  • Webshield Settings / URLs to exclude: http://pop.1und1.com (avast blaims the httpS protocol, which I cannot whitelist, just http)

Right now, I have to disable avast for 10min - not cool…

On a final note: I got an email from Avast that this issue will be fixed with the next version and now everything works fine again. Thanks!
