Does avast mail shield work with windows 10 mail
Avast Mail Shield is a feature of Avast Antivirus that scans your email for malware and other threats. While Avast Mail Shield is designed to work with various email clients, its compatibility with Windows 10 Mail (formerly known as Windows Live Mail) is limited.
Here's what you need to know:
- Avast Mail Shield does not natively support Windows 10 Mail: Avast Mail Shield is designed to work with email clients that use the Microsoft Outlook Express or Windows Mail protocols. Windows 10 Mail, on the other hand, uses a different protocol (Exchange Web Services or IMAP/POP3) that is not directly supported by Avast Mail Shield.
- Workaround: Use Avast's Outlook plugin: Avast offers an Outlook plugin that can integrate with Microsoft Outlook to provide email scanning and protection. If you use Microsoft Outlook as your email client, you can install the Avast Outlook plugin to enable Mail Shield protection.
- Alternative solution: Use a third-party email client: If you prefer to use Windows 10 Mail, you can consider using a third-party email client like Mozilla Thunderbird or eM Client, which are compatible with Avast Mail Shield.
To summarize:
- Avast Mail Shield does not natively support Windows 10 Mail.
- You can use Avast's Outlook plugin if you use Microsoft Outlook as your email client.
- Consider using a third-party email client that is compatible with Avast Mail Shield if you prefer to use Windows 10 Mail.
