Just wanted you to know that older versions of IMail can be vulnerable to some viruses. I know of one site with IMail 8.15 that got a surprise infestation of Codbot.v (or .w) which loaded itself as a service and even ran when in Safe Mode - wow!

Finally got rid of it and got all the updates for that IMail version.

Don't think just Windows can have vulnerabilities, so can your programs. Keep them up-to-date, use an antivirus program, and keep an eye on the running processes (Process Explorer from sysinternals.com is great and free).
