I'm having the same situation as you. I use a program called Forte
Agent (which Norton scanned email very well - I, too, removed Norton
and installed AVG).
When I go to Advance Settings > Email Scanner - I do not see an Option
for Servers (what am I missing). On the box for "Email Scanner
Componet", for "Installed email client plug-ins" all is listed is
Microsoft Outlook. Is there a way to add Forte Agent as an email
client as I had in Norton?

Why don't you move to WLM; It's more stable and secure - I think .
Gmail server access requires configuration at the Gmail site to prepare the
account for use with mail clients. After that has been done, you have to
configure the outgoing server using port 465 with SSL (Windows Live Mail
fails when trying to use port 587 with STARTTLS; a bug carried over from MS
Outlook Express where STARTTLS only works with port 25; but Gmail doesn't
use port 25 for outgoing email). Incoming should be either port 995 with
SSL (for POP3 access), or port 993 with SSL (for IMAP access).

Just as a matter of interest. How good is AVG free compared to the
paid version?? Is there any difference in the virus detection
software??
