Rather imprudently switched on email protection in AVAST and now not getting any email.

Tried switching off email protection AND uninstalling AVAST.

On osx Yosemite

Which email software? Which email service provider?

What steps did you take to uninstall Avast?

If still not working try a reboot and see if that helps, and run repair Permissions in Disk Utility.

The imprudent part was installing Avast! in the first place. No Mac OS X viruses

woo-woo ... hallelujah. Fixing the disk permissions worked. I thank you and my mother thanks you.

My pleasure. Put a dozen of beer in the mail to Australia?
