Nero fiddled...
Kevin Drum Raps about Thunderbird. I don’t have much to add here, besides noting A) if you’re my parents, you should think about switching and B) I haven’t had any problems with spam. Of course, since I have a Gmail account that is given out to everyone, and a personal home account for friends and family, my spam issues are pretty small...
Having said that, Mr. Drum also mentions some issues with the free anti-virus program AGV. He mentions the problem “its email scanner caused my email to cease functioning altogether.”
I, too had this problem using AGV and Thunderbird in conjunction. The problem is not solvable, as far as I know...
See, Thunderbird has a single file for the entire inbox. When a virus gets sent along as an attachment, AGV quarantines the file-- the entire Thunderbird inbox. This makes Thunderbird stop working...
Nero operates differently, and thus doesn’t have that same problem...
