I'm not sure there is any way to turn off the message scanning in McAfee.
In most versions, even disabling the whole program doesn't stop it from
causing problems; you have to uninstall it instead. You then often need
to run this cleanup program to take care of what the uninstall leaves
behind:

You may even need to remove your email account under Windows
Mail, then restart Windows Mail and add the account again.
If this solves your problem, you may want a replacement antivirus
program that doesn't cause problems in Windows Mail. Most
versions of the Norton antivirus program and a recent version of
the Trend antivirus program are bad choices; they also cause
problems in Windows Mail. I recommend either avast! or AVG,
either one with a custom install that tells it to leave out the part that
scans email. If you want or need to use a paid version, I've seen
the CA Anti-Virus recommended.
