Foxmail inbox file name

[Morgan Ohlson]

After Antivir detected a virus in Foxmail inbox (wich was deleted) it
doesn't work as supposed.

Can Antivir totally deleted the hole inbox file?

What is Foxmail inbox file name? ...so I can search for it.

i don't know antivir, but i don't know one virus to be able to delete
foxmail mailboxes ;-P

foxmail inbox file is named in.box in each folder account.
if in.box was deleted by antivirus, you just have close foxmail, delete
also IN.IND and restart foxmail.
empty in.box and in.ind will be recreated.

but if you want to recover some mail inside lost in.box, ask for antivir
support

for my experience of email client support, it's an usual problem
Sometimes, AV just cause latency in POP3/SMTP dialog until time-out, but in
some other case, mail or complete mailbox are lost on AV cleaning.

IMHO, client-side antivirus mail scan is useless, resident AV monitor
avoiding virus infection if attached executable file is launched.

I did never experience any problems between Antivir and OE. Now OE is what
one must flee from.

Are there other experience on other clients out there!?
