I installed Avast 4.7 home and lost the ability to send and receive email
in Outlook Express. I unchecked the boxes to scan inbound and outbound mail
and again received mail and could send it.
I realize that this should be an Avast problem, but I cannot get an answer
anywhere else. If anyone is familiar with this problem, I would be
greatful for a solution.


Depending on the quality of the connection to the mail server, any anti-spam
program or email program set to scan email will cause this. Email scanning
provides absolutely no protection over just having the anti-virus program
running its normal resident protection. None at all.
