To follow-up the virus discussion... Can anyone explain how anti-virus apps (Symantec, McAfee, BitDefender, etc) do or do not scan IMAP email. I realize that IMAP keeps the messages on the server and only headers are downloaded. But what about attachments and saving a message to a local folder? Do those files only get scanned when you do a system scan or do they get scanned when saved? Symantec and the others only claim to scan POP email - do they mean real-time only?

Thanks,
Carol
