| | Scanning Email With An Anti-Virus Program People keep saying we must stop scanning email with an anti-virus program -- both incoming and outgoing. I have been scanning my email with an anti-virus program for years -- currently Norton Internet Security. No Problems At All With Outlook Express -- nor with Outlook. And the programs doesn't run slower either. NOW... Why can't the folks who design and develop Windows Live Mail be smart enough to design a program for us that has the same robust, flexible nature as OE? Why have they designed a program that is so ruddy weak and fragile it can't interact with a program that scans incoming and outgoing emails? Because they are dumber and less technically competent than the Good Folks who designed Outlook Express? -- D.

| | Re: Scanning Email With An Anti-Virus Program If anything, WLM is less likely to have problems with e-mail scanning than OE. Its message store is much more robust than OE's. And many people do use e-mail scanning without any problems. But the issue boils down to 2 things. #1) Anti-virus scanning of e-mail ON THE CLIENT during send/receive does NOT provide any more security than the normal background anti-virus scanning that occurs as files are opened. #2) Anti-virus scanning of e-mail ON THE CLIENT during send/receive does SOMETIMES cause problems. It may cause the Send/Receive to fail or it may lead to corruption of the message store. Taking 1 and 2 together leads to the conclusion that e-mail scanning doesn't make any sense ON THE CLIENT during send/receive. It does make a lot of sense ON THE MAIL SERVER where it works well. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "D.

I would like to see OE with the WLM message store. Once that's proven the other bells, whistles, titivation etc. may be developed and added. Oh unfortunately it'll need the spell check too because they broke it with Occife 2007 -- Wisdom and experience come with age, they say, but I wish I could remember the darn question |
