How to check e-mails on Gmail account with AVG?

To set up AVG protection for e-mails on your Gmail account, please follow these steps:

• open AVG - menu Tools - Advanced Settings - E-mail Scanner - Servers
• go to POP3 - AutoPOP3, and edit this server:
• Type of login: Fixed host; fill in your POP3 server (pop.gmail.com)
  
• Local port: 5100
• Connection: "SSL" (encrypted connection to port 995) or "SSL Default" (encrypted connection to port 110)
• make sure that the server is activated
• now go to SMTP - AutoSMTP, and edit the server:
• Type of login: Fixed host; fill in your SMTP server (smtp.gmail.com)
• Local port: 5200
• Connection: "SSL" (encrypted connection to port 465) or "SSL Default" (encrypted connection to port 25)
• make sure that the server is activated

This way, the AVG E-mail Scanner is set up to communicate with the GMAIL server using SSL encryption. Now, please configure your e-mail client so that it connects to the AVG e-mail scanner instead of the actual e-mail server. The servers configuration will be:

• POP3
• server: 127.0.0.1
• port: 5100
• user name / password: same as before (i.e. your e-mail username and password)
• encryption: NONE ( SSL disabled)
• SMTP
• server: 127.0.0.1
• port: 5200
• authentication: yes
• user name / password: same as before
• encryption: NONE ( SSL disabled)

If you have problems creating the manual servers or retrieving your e-mails from Gmail account with this configuration, please contact our AVG Customer Services.
