Are you sure about this? What happens when you send or receive an email? Does Avast show any alerts? Did you check the Avast's logs to see why they are blocked?
heres a link that might help fix it

Your screenshots only indicate to Turn off Avast scanning your emails, it's not a long-term practical solution.
I would just use the Avast Real Time Protection instead!
My Thunderbird now works with this setting, it's just a fast solution for now!
This works!
This is my problem!
Found what I was looking for!

You do realize those settings from your last post are there only for email alerts and nothing to do with the mail shield ? When malware is detected by any of avast's components then avast will send an email-alert to the specified mail via the mail server you entered bellow under SMTP Settings.
Just looking at this problem you can only add one SMTP Server, I have two SMTP Servers on my Thunderbird!
Nop it was the SMTP Server settings for sure, I have disabled the Mail Shield without Antivirus errors! My first solution works better, If you only have more than one SMTP Server?
Thanks for the link, but as you can see in my Email Client. I have more than one SMTP Server lol!
One was for the Email Client and the other one you was right about the Email Notification, I will use it in a bit lol!
Yes it looks like all of this screen was the Email Notification part!

The alerts feature in avast! is really handy for network admins, i don't know if the newest avast! versions have this also but i remember you could send alerts through a network message(WinPopup) to a specific IP or it could use the printer and print the alerts through that.
So is the Mail Shield working for you after following the steps outlined in the faq article ? http://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB91#artTitle

I had to disable features, but still keep it enabled!
The Email Notification don't even work as well!

The email notification feature was removed in earlier versions of avast 7 but there is the ability to get it back with a small modification of the ini file

Just a suggestion, they have a very active and helpful forum at avast! and i would advise getting assistance with any avast! issues over there. https://forum.avast.com
It looks like the feature was removed, I'll just use my "Windows Firewall Console 9.0" the Firewall Email Notification instead it's very cool, I made it from Perl Programming!
This works better than Avast, because if someone hacks me and bypasses Avast junk, I'll can get notifications on the port instead lol!

Even the AV part is average with avast!, nothing to write home about. It appears to me they are too focused on marketing and adding unnecessary features to the program instead of focusing on the core AV part and making that as good as possible.
Yep it's rubbish also there Firewall didn't work as well, the detection works. but I make sure my UAC is running also sneaky me hahaha!
If I didn't create Windows Firewall Console 9.0? I would be either using Online Armor Free Firewall or Privatefirewall 7.0 maybe Spyshelter with Avast leaky thing lol!
