If you're using the POP3 interface to Gmail, it uses a non-standard port and AVG free may not pick it up. I'm not sure the paid version will either. Most AV programs only monitor port 110.

I tried setting up an entry with port 995 but it wouldn't launch until I unchecked the SSL box in? PocoMail....Of course then GMAIL wouldn't allow it to connect & download.
I've set up Gmail in several POP3 clients and it works but you do have to read the instructions carefully. There is a good step by step procedure for setting it up at http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?ctx=gmail&answer=12103 Gmail uses TLS, not SSL, and if Pocomail doesn't support TLS it won't work.
BTW, we're parked at the Jordan's for the next week.
>>In some unique cases you have to create servers in the Personal e-mail scanner
manually. The typical case is when you are using secure communication (SSL). In
this case you have to create servers in the Personal e-mail scanner this way:
?
(AVG Control Center->E-mail scanner->Properties->Personal e-mail
scanner->Properties->Servers tab)
click on Add->Server type->POP3 - protocol for receiving e-mail
messages->Connection->choose Fixed host on the right side of the screen and type
here name of your original POP3 server (pop.gmail.com)->choose port number (995
recommended)->enable the secure communication in the Connection dialogue and
click on OK
click on Add->Server type->SMTP - protocol for sending e-mail
messages->Connection->choose Fixed host on the right side of the screen and type
here name of your original SMTP server->choose port number (995
recommended)->enable the secure communication in the Connection dialogue and
click on OK
Then you have to to set up the account in your e-mail client this way:
server for incoming e-mails: 127.0.0.1, port number as configured in the
Personal e-mail scanner server for outgoing e-mails: (127.0.0.1:995)
disable secure communication in your client.
I didn't do the SMTP part as I use Direcway or Escapees for that part.
