[pchelpers] AVG/Thunderbird problems

Hi Linz

Did you try turning off AVG's email scanner? (properties,
configure, don't check outgoing mail). That should only take a
few seconds.

If that lets you send with TB, the problem is in AVG's settings,
not in TB.

Are you sure you have the correct outgoing server settings? All 
you probably have to do is look on your ISP's website or call 
them (if they're not like most with lousy phone support). That 
should only take a few minutes.

Verify the settings in Thunderbird exactly match what your ISP 
provides -- No typos (e.g. "smpt"), extra spaces, punctuation 
mistakes (e.g. no commas instead of periods) or capitalization 
errors (e.g. lowercase instead of Caps).
Some service providers use non-standard ports (25 is standard). 
If you're having problems, ask them which ports they support for 
SMTP or outgoing e-mail.

If all else fails, you might have to follow the following AVG 
instructions for manually making the AVG settings; that should 
not take more than 10 minutes or so:

If you want to take the easy way out, you could try instead 
installing Avast, the other free AV recommended on
http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.phtml?title=Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Anti-virus_Software#Compatible_antivirus_programs

I've also seen that some Thunderbird forum members speak well of
AntiVir, also free www.free-av.com

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
