585341 2007-08-28 00:16:00 I have AVG 7.5.484 and am using Thunderbird 2. Up until xtra changed to secure SSL my email was being scanned and
notice appearing at the bottom in incoming mail. Now it doesn't appear to be working. I have set Thunderbird according to instructions fro Extra and also reset up AVG. Any thoughts?

585342 2007-08-28 03:46:00 Its something to do with Xtras new setting I think.

Got a customer who HAD xtra, using Nod32 antivirus, the scanning attachments box stopped appearing when Xta did their change.

She changed to Paradise today and dumped Xtra - instantly the Scanning box reappeared when receiving attachments.

I suspect AVG / Thunderbird is the same.

585343 2007-08-28 03:56:00 I have no email at all with Xtra and Thunderbird since Xtra set up their new system, I do have Hotmail though. winmacguy (3367)

Since the email scanner sits between Thunderbird and Xtra shouldn't you be applying Xtra settings to the email scanner and AVG settings to Thunderbird?

Thunderbird > local address + Xtra port nos > AVG > SSL Xtra settings > Xtra

585346 2007-08-29 02:22:00 I've just tried TBird and AVG and it works.

Thunderbird
POP3 set to 127.0.0.1 port 995 Xtra account user name
SMTP set to 127.0.0.1 port 465 Xtra user name

AVG Personal Email scanner connections set to
Fixed Host pop3.xtra.co.nz port 995 secure to dedicated port
Fixed host send.xtra.co.nz port 465 secure to dedicated port
