Every one is getting this issue and AVG dont have a fix

Ernie's solution does solves the problem, but is this a safe setting?
Or is there a way to add the Mail & Calendar app to the AVG exception list?
Thanks in advance.

I think I found the solution. I use AVG too and I had issues syncing a gmail account. Basically, you go to your firewall settings and click on the tab which lists all the rules for applications (The tab is called "Applications"). You then find the ones labeled Host Process for Windows Services. The Domains for these applications should be: "C://Windows/System32/svchost.exe and C://Windows/SYSWOW64/svchost.exe"

Enable/Allow these to bypass the firewall and the app should be working.

Just installed windows 10 and tried to access my road runner pop account with Windows Mail. When I tried to sync I get the error  0x8007271d.  I have to drop AVG firewall before I can retrieve any mail.
I tried switching to Interactive but it didn't help.

Any suggestions?​
