How to create servers for scanning e-mails - SSL communication

In some unique cases you have to create the incoming/outgoing servers in the AVG E-mail Scanner manually. The typical case is when you are using secure communication (SSL). In this case you have to change the AVG E-mail Scanner configuration this way:

• open AVG - menu Tools - Advanced Settings - E-mail Scanner - Servers
• go to POP3 - AutoPOP3, and edit this server:
• Type of login: Fixed host; fill in your POP3 server and port (e.g. pop3.mymail.com:995)
  
• Local port: 5100
• Connection: SSL Default (or SSL, based on your e-mail provider)
• make sure that the server is activated
• now go to SMTP - AutoSMTP, and edit the server:
• Type of login: Fixed host; fill in your SMTP server and port (e.g. smtp.mymail.com:465)
• Local port: 5200
• Connection: SSL Default (or SSL, based on your e-mail provider)
• make sure that the server is activated

This way, the AVG E-mail Scanner is set up to communicate with your e-mail server using SSL encryption. Now, please configure your e-mail client so that it connects to the  instead of the actual e-mail server. The servers configuration will be:

• POP3
• server: 127.0.0.1
• port: 5100
• user name / password: same as before (i.e. your e-mail username and password)
• encryption: NONE (SSL disabled)
• SMTP
• server: 127.0.0.1
• port: 5200
• authentication: same as before
• user name / password: same as before (if required)
• encryption: NONE (SSL disabled)
