[OPLINTECH] E-mail Programs

[Chad Neeper]

FWIW, I use Thunderbird (definitely would recommend it) and Symantec 
anti-virus Corporate Edition with no problems. I've never had it lock my 
mailbox upon virus detection. There is an option in Thunderbird to 
"allow anti-virus clients to quarantine individual incoming messages." I 
do have this option enabled. I assume it temporarily writes each email 
to it's own individual file to allow AV to scan it before adding it to 
the mailbox data files.
