It is not correct to say that AVG will not work with OE. I've seen it work, and I've seen it fail to work. The product is good, but not perfect, especially the free edition.
AVG works, when it wants to, with both Eudora and OE, by design. The same isn't true of every other POP3 client on the planet.
The link that empip kindly provided yields the following information for Gmail:
[code:1]Here are the settings that work for Outlook Express 6 to scan and certify GMail, both incoming and outgoing:
In AVG EMail Scanner, create a Fixed Host POP3 server pointed to pop.gmail.com. Use port 995. Set connection type to "secure to dedicated port (TLS)" check the box "activate this port and use it for sending/receiving mail." DO NOT check "use APOP when available."
Do the same with SMTP, using port 587 or 465 (either is a valid port for gmail), except set the connection type to "secure to regular port (STARTTLS)".
In Outlook Express, set both POP3 and SMTP servers to 127.0.0.1, (NOT ***.gmail.com). Assign the POP3 port number as 995, and the SMTP port nunber to 587 or 465. DO NOT check "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" on the advanced tab. If you have these checked and uncheck them, it will reset your SMTP to 25 and your POP to 110, so remember to type in the correct port numbers after you uncheck the SSL boxes.
On the Servers tab, DO NOT check "Log on using secure password authentication." DO check "My Server requires authentication" and in the "settings" button for that panel make sure that the radio button for "Use same settings as my incoming mail server" is checked.
Make sure you click "apply" on each window before backing out.[/code:1]
empip - I'm not happy with what you're implying about the welcome here. The post was answered, and with questions soliciting more information so that help could be given. If you don't like it, then you know what to do, and it involves everyone's favourite pastimes of sex and travel.
