ReSieve Help File 
 
Using ReSieve with other proxies such as virus scanners

If you use an email scanning proxy that has changed your email setting like some versions of Norton Antivirus, then ReSieve won't work straight off the bat: the email proxy will grab them instead. You need to configure ReSieve to talk to the email scanner. (If your virus scanner didn't change your email POP3 server setting then there is no need to follow these instructions).

(So, basically, emails get downloaded by the scanner, passed to ReSieve, and then - finally - passed to your email program.)

Now, since different brands of email scanners work differently, we'll work like this:

1. Disable the email scanner and return your settings to normal.
2. Tell ReSieve to listen for connections on a different port.
3. Tell your email program to connect to ReSieve on a different port.
4. Re-enable your email scanner with the new settings.

Disabling your e-mail scanner

Follow your manufacturer's instructions for this.

Change ReSieve's port

Head to the configuration button, and change your POP3 Listen Port to any similar number - we recommend 123. Click Apply.

Change your email program's port

Just choose your email program and follow the column down. While these instructions might look complicated, they actually only take about two minutes - and it's hard to go wrong. (Just in case, make a note of your original settings in case you need to go back.
