E-Mail problem


I use Windows Mail as I liked Outlook Express. Since yesterday I have
not been able to receive any mail using the program as on logging in I
get the usual receiving message in the bottom left tool box but the my
AVG E-mail scanner pops a window up saying 'AutoPoP3 Downloading message
#1.65%'
The message does not load any further and eventually the message window
tells me that I have now 15 messages (increasing time progresses) which
cannot be delivered due to various possible causes.
I assume that my e-mail program is stalling whilst trying to load the
first message and eventually gives up.
I can view my messages via my BT Yahoo mail box so all is not lost.
However, can anyone out there offer any help as I would like to
continue using Windows Mail and the longer it is unresolved the messages
will pile up undelivered.

You may need to log in using BT Yahoo mail and delete the oldest message.

Also, if you used the standard install for AVG, it's a good idea to
uninstall
it and then do a custom install that tells it to leave out the part that
scans
email.

Re: E-Mail problem

You should not have AVG scanning your emails. Uninstall AVG, then
reinstall it using the custom install option whereby you can unselect
the email scanning module.
For more on the email scanning issue, see http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Re: E-Mail problem

I am not sure about my problem. I have Vista with Mail and free AVG. The
email scanner will not stay functional. How can I make it stay on as to not
have to activate it each day. Thanks

Re: E-Mail problem

If I unselect scan emails on AVG do I have something else scanning them for
viruses. Thanks

Re: E-Mail problem

Yes, the real-time scanner protects all files including email files.
