I am trying to send emails through my Quickbooks 2015 app.  It gives me an error message suggesting there's a firewall that is blocking the email from being sent.  My email is gmail, pop.gmail.com, port 995, and I am using AVG Internet Security.  I have looked at the AVG firewall settings, but I am confused.
