Hi!

Since the update from 5.0x to 5.1 is the Email-download very slow.
The same problem also with the new 6.0.

I have the same problem. Can't wait for slow, slow messages on Thunderbird. Switched to Outlook Express and downloaded thirty emails in a minute or less.

Hello,

Please tell me if disabling the "scan incoming emails" option solves the emails issue. I need to understand if the antivirus engine is the cause for this.

Thank you.

Best regards,

I know AVG scans Thunderbird, but not sure about Outlook express. Did not notice a way to turn off scanning in the email programs. I'll see if AVG is specific about who it scans.

HI!

Also with disabling "Scan incoming mail" the problem is there.

I am uncomfortable disabling email scan. What's up with that?

Hi!

After A restart the problem is there again.
If the option "Scan incoming mail" is deactivated (and restart PC) the problem is gone.

Are you using IMAP4 or POP3 account in Thunderbird?

Check POP/SMTP server setting then - Norton and McAfee seem to change POP settings to 127.0.01 >Local Host"

Make sure username/account name is NOT your full Email addy

Example for a TW RoadRunner POP3 account

email: jdoe@socal.rr.com
user name: jdoe
incoming (POP) server: pop-server.socal.rr.com
outgoing (SMTP) server: smtp-server.socal.rr.com

BTW - when you SEND attachments - is it slow to upload?
Another thing that MAY cause the issue: is the option to "append BullGuard scan results to Email" (or something like that) enabled?

Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?

Hi!

After the latest Updates of BG 6 all seems to work.

P.S.

Norton

Mc Afee

P.P.S. the "append ..."-Function is not enabled.
