Hi,

I've recently encountered a new problem - I can't download email anymore that works with imap protocol (port 143).I've run a check and it seems that my port 143 is blocked for some reason.I'm using the default settings of windows xp firewall and the free version of avira antivirus.Anyway, how do I unblock that port?Is there a free software that might help (if needed)?

Thanks.

Does it happen after you enable Windows Firewall or that new free AV?

Several options:

1. Go to Windows Firewall via control settings and exception > add new port > add port 143.

2. Try disabling both Windows Firewall and AV to see how it goes.

3. If it is not a big deal to redownload the AV, try uninstalling completely and check again with Windows Firewall only.
