I just spent 2 hours trying to set up my email in OE and even if I disable AVG, it still won't let me receive.

4. It scans my email for 60 seconds, then doesn't let anything

in out out. If I could kill it, I would. I hate it.

04122 How to deactivate the AVG Personal E-mail scanner?
If you are using a POP3/SMTP based e-mail client and there is a problem with e-mail delivering, or you need to disable the Personal E-mail Scanner for any another reason, follow these steps:

Open the AVG Control Center program -> double-click on the "E-mail scanner" component -> select "Personal E-mail Scanner" in the "Installed plugins" list. Now click on the "Disable plugin" button. After you do this, no communication on ports 110 or 25 will be scanned by the AVG Personal E-mail Scanner. When you need to re-activate it, open the AVG Control Center program -> select the "E-mail scanner" tab by one left click -> click on the "Activate" button on the bottom of the AVG Control Center window.

9. Already did that. Works for one or two emails, then stops working

When I go back into AVG, e-mail scanner is activated again.

Shoot me.

10. Hmmm. I'll get back to you if I find anything.

11. How long has this been going on?

If it's recent, it may be a server issue.

[graywarrior]

12. UPDATE. Ok, it seems to be working with AVG email scan disabled

Can I leave it disabled, or disable it only when I want to use email. I have no other virus protection.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

13. Disable it only when you use email.

14. Thank YOU Crazy. You rock.

[graywarrior]

15. Wait wait wait. How to I enable it. The disabled button is grayed out!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

16. Hmmmm. Take a look at the help menu.

17. Seems like it enables itself if you just open AVG after using email.

The things you learn when You actually think things through.

Thanks for your help, Crazy.
