Hi,

I've just switch from pop3 to imap, just to realize that neither of the
two AV solutions I use - Norton and NOD32 - scans incoming mail recieved
via imap. And I've tried to find another that does, without success.

Is there any piece of software that does?

NO.

IMAP email clients leave email on the server in folders or downloads them locally. It would
be up to a server based AV application on the IMAP server to scan email in IMAP server
folders. It doesn't make a difference anyway since as long as "on access" scanning is
enabled and properly configured on your AV software, you are still protected.
