McAfee has no business messing with your emails.
Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee and Norton
security programs. Those will need to be uninstalled, not just
disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see

No. You only need to disable the email integration feature(email scanning of incoming and outgoing emails)

Depends on what you mean by "disable." All antivirus programs
need to have their email scanning function turned off permanently,
but do not disable the 'resident' or real-time function, which is the
main purpose for having an antivirus.

For many antivirus programs, but not most of those from Norton or McAfee,
or a recent one from Trend, just doing a custom install that tell it to
leave out
the part that scans email is enough. For some, even just telling them to
disable email scanning is enough.
