The best email client is Eudora. Eudora will slam all attachments into folders on the disk. There is no demented nesting or embedding going on. Eudora can handle huge amounts of email. Outlook and MS Outrage ( Entourage ) will selfcombust at any time. The way the mail is stored you will risk losing it all.

Right.. so do get Eudora. When setting up autoscan in ClamXav the most important folder is Attachments, but if I were you I would also set up Delivery and Parts for autoscan.
Another matter is that EVERYTHING is contained in the Eudora folder in user/documents. You can drag this foilder to another mac and you will not lose a thing. Backing up your email simply means making a copy to tape or DVD or whatever of this "Eudora folder" in user/documents. We like that.

What files do you get from where? Whatever you don´t get by mail or download using a browser you can most probably scan manually. Set up autoscan of your download folders.

Clamxav will manage most stuff but trojans are something else. Brinxmat has shown how a trojan can be made.

And do try the Xmas icons attached to this post.

I recommend also getting something like Zebra, and TURN OFF the "open safe files" in Safari NOW.
