I have a PC running XP Home SP2. Avast (free edition) is my anti-virus
software. Outlook Express 6 SP2 is my email program.

Just a few minutes ago, I added a new email account with my Internet
Service Provider. I can send and receive email just fine, but Avast is not
scanning this new account. How do I fix this? I know when Avast is
scanning an email message because a small icon will appear in the systray.
I've sent myself some large files, but the icon is not appearing when I use
the new email address.

Rerun the the Avast Mail Wizard (Start -> Programs -> avast! Antivirus ->
Mail Protection Wizard) to add the new account.

Thanks. That's the fix.
