Version 8 upgrade - Problem with Gmail server connection

Hello everyone, We believe that you’re enjoying the look and features of our new eM Client version 8. To those (Avast antivirus users) who are experiencing the issue with Gmail when eM Client can’t connect to the IMAP server - please disable the Avast Mail Shield or grant an exception to the eM Client app in Avast settings. Avast antivirus is blocking the connection to the server and this will allow you connect to your Gmail server again. With kind regards, eM Client Team

Will not connect to gmail

I get the small red triangle next to my the gmail account. I can send e-mail but I cannot receive e-mail. When I click on the triangle the message says it can not connect.

There are a lot more… Avast and AVG and emClient are fully aware but no-one seems to have fixed the problem.
