<p dir="auto">Which kind of makes it malware itself ;-) I wonder if any antivirus-software would quarantine an email if it had an antivirus app attached...</p>
<p dir="auto">Joking aside, I don't have any nice solution to this problem. I strongly recommend not letting antivirus software do anything to the Messages subfolder. Nothing in this folder is executable. MailMate will save attachments in another location (currently the Attachments folder) and this will still give antivirus software the opportunity to intervene.</p>
<p dir="auto">If the antivirus software can just list the files matching its checks (without removing them) then one could build a list of <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">Message-ID</code> headers and then use the <code style="background-color:#F7F7F7; border-radius:3px; margin:0; padding:0 0.4em" bgcolor="#F7F7F7">message:</code> URL scheme to open these emails in MailMate in order to delete them (one by one).</p>
<p dir="auto">Ideally, MailMate would detect disappearing files and offer the user to act on it -- including deleting them server side. (This would still leave MailMate unable to properly clear its database index files.)</p>
