AVG Secure VPN does not release outgoing emails. I have to shut VPN off for the e-mails to be sent

When I try to send or reply to e-mails with VPN on, they do not release from out box. So here I think I have responded yet they haven't been released. Has to be a simple fix? Right now, I have to go shut off VPN, go to outbox, and send again. Then I have to remember to engage VPN again!! Help !

Hi Gary,

This isn't the expected behavior.
May I know from when you are experiencing the issue?
Did you try changing location on AVG Secure VPN and checked the status?
