Pokerstars tournament summaries aren't importing....

I think this starting happening after I installed the May 9th patch.

PT can see the summary in my pop3 box, but say 0 summaries imported, no recognized formats.

This used to work for me.

Any clues?

Hmmm..... that's not the error I'm getting.

I just finished a tourney on Stars and requested the tournament history.

I go to Poker Tracker, select Import Hand Histories/Tournament Summaries.

I click "check POP3 Mail".

It pops up with the summary I just received as a message to try and import. I click Import, and get the following error:

PT Error Logs - exported: 06/08/2008 12:17 PM

What anti-virus program are you running? Is it AVG? The times I've seen this are when then AV software is preventing PT from being able to get the text of the emails.

Bingo. I've got AVG 8.0.

Weird in that it connects to the POP3 server (that is, you can see it say "7 messages", then it only (correctly) selects the Summaries), but then it can't download them?

Is there a switch or a work-around, or do I have to save off the summaries myself from another client (Thunderbird) and just import the text files?

I don't know AVG so I don't know if there is some way to tell it to allow Poker Tracker to have access. If not then disabling AVG or manually saving the text to a file would have to be done.
