-
Hello,
AVG antivirus mail agent is blocking mail (beta).
I have many differents errors :
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED
ERR_SOCKET_CLOSED...among others.
Everything goes fine if I turn off AVG mail agent.
Could you help me resolve this issue ?Thanks

Hello,
Here is how to fix the issue :
- Go to AVG Menu -> SETTINGS
- Click on SEARCH and type geek:area
- Click on the hint to acceed aditional parameters
- Scroll down to AVG email agent
- Uncheck Scan SSL connections
If it still does not work, you may also check/change SSL ports (IMAP, SMPT) below to the good ones.

@m0rgane To be honest, the best resolution is to uninstall AVG and use the default antivirus and firewall that comes with Windows (or your other Operating System).
I gave up on AVG a decade ago after it stopped my favourite applications from working. I tried Avast for a while, but since upgrading to Windows 10, I have only used Windows Defender and Firewall. Just to be extra safe, I run the free Malwarebytes about once a month, but it never finds any issues.
