POP 3 filter in v3

[twl845]

I upgraded to v3.642 the other day and I am finding an e-mail problem that has happened on each attempt I've made to run v3 no matter what build. I have e-mail Protection enabled with Outlook ticked in e-mail Integration from the maintenance folder.
I get a large file like an e-mail video coming in to Outlook, and click send/receive to access it, it progresses about two third of the way and stops. After a while it times out. If I close Outlook, I find a dialog box from Mailwasher that says "The account is currently locked. This is probably caused by it either being in use by another session, or temporarily locked for maintenance." I have found that if I leave E-mail Protection enabled but uncheck POP 3 filter e-mail checking, the e-mail problem is gone. If I have POP3 checked, Outlook is checked in E-Mail Clients, and Compatability is over to the right for Efficiency. Moving Compatability to the center doesn't help. Is there some other way I could fix this? I don't have this problem in v2.7. Any help will be appreciated. Perhaps Marcos or HiTechBoy?

What happens if you turn the Protocol filtering to "HTTP and POP3 ports"

I'll test that now and report back. Thanks:)

HiTechBoy, If POP3 is enabled for checking, and I make the change you suggested, I still have the problem. Only after I uncheck POP3 does the mail with the video go through.

Try unchecking email client integration with Outlook.

{QUOTE-> Try unchecking email client integration with Outlook. <-QUOTE} Thanks for the suggestion but that didn't work either. POP3 has to be unchecked. :(

I don't see a logic . You are sending email , not receiving .
You can always place a X for Outlook so that its traffic is not scanned . The file system protection will monitor the other things . Sorry I can't help .

No I'm trying to receive mail but it stops as it's coming in about two thirds of the way watching the progress bar. Outgoing is fine.

Aha. Now I get it . What about this ?

Are we talking about Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook?

So I gather you mean Microsoft Outlook, right?

Sorry about that, yes Microsoft Outlook.:)

Just in case, disabling scanning of outgoing email doesn't make any difference?

Hi Marcos - This is an incoming mail problem. See my post #1. :) It's only locking the incoming mail when it is a large file with pictures or a video (so far). I click sen/receive in Outlook and the progress bar in details makes it about half way and quits. Unchecking POP3 clears the problem.

Try POP3 compatibility menu. Move it left to Maximum Compatibility and Let me know the result.

I did that as I mentioned in an earlier post. no help. Thanks for your response.:)

Just to update. I decided to upgrade to v3.650 to see if I would still have my glitch. I uninstalled v3.642 using control panel add/remove this time rather than eset uninstall. I cleared the registry of all eset files. I shut down OA FW, Superantispyware, and Mailwasher. I downloaded v3.650 and installed it. I left POP3 filter checked. I forwarded myself a wmv video, and outlook locked. I unchecked POP3 filter, and tried to receive the e-mail video, and there was no problem.I guess that's just the way it's going to be. ;)

FYI - I owe ESET an apology for assuming v3 was the cause of my e-mail locking up. To make a long story short, upon visiting the Online Armor FW forum I discovered that some people had the same problem as me. So the next time I received e-mail I shut down OA and then clicked send/receive. The e-mails flew into my Outlook. It seems the latest build of OA had a bug causing the problem. OA has promptly fixed the bug and issued a new version 2.1.0.130. The problem is gone. I guess I violated my own rule which is Never Assume. It seems I did have a similar problem with the first two versions of NOD32 v3, and the only way I could eliminate it was to revert back to v2.7. I guess my upgrading to the new v3.642 coincided with OA's upgrade to their version with the bug. ;D

Thanks for the update.
