Actually, another reasonable solution to this problem is to change the real-time protection settings in Norton AV CE so that instead of scanning all file types, it scans "selected" file types. Even at this setting, it scans almost 60 types of files, including every dangerous type I am aware of, but it would not scan a .mbx file and thus would not erroneously quarantine the inbox. Combined with the front-end protection from Clam, as well as the (highly variable) amount of good judgment that users might exercise, the dangers of viruses would be extremely small. There is a small risk to this, but remember that the consequences of the inbox being quarantined are actually as bad as the effects of some viruses, ranging from complete loss of a lot of email (in the case that someone bumbles around trying to fix the problem without knowing enough about what they are doing) to the cost of support time for someone to come clean up and put things right again.
