Default No e-mail after Avast installaion

Only those that work outside / independent of the email program, so no.

The antivirus and antispam people interpose their code in OE's code, so that
is what leads to the majority of problems. If you ran parallel to OE then
it would be something different, and I'm working on something like that.

How can it be an OE problem, when other software screws up OE????

OE isn't the problem. The problem is the lack of testing by 3rd party
software vendors or the lack of concern by such.

Fair enough. Is there an anti spam program that works well with OE6?

Thanks,

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.

It's an OE problem. OE doesn't like anything checking it, be it for spam
or viruses.
