Mail Shield - SSL Scanning
Manage these settings at:
Menu ▸ Settings (gear icon) ▸ Active Protection ▸ Mail Shield ▸ Customize ▸ SSL Scanning
The Mail Shield scans for threats in your incoming and outgoing email messages. This applies to messages sent or received using a mail management software (such as MS Outlook).
- Scan SSL Connections - Check this box to enable scanning for SSL/TLS encrypted email messages.
For some mail clients, when this is enabled you must export a certificate from Avast Mail Shield and import it into your mail client's certificate store.
For further help to export a mail certificate please visit our FAQs or contact the support team.
