Hello Esther,
Unlike many of you on the list, I own a Macintosh and I get all my GML mail at
a POP mail server. I've never had much difficulty with anyone with a KAK
virus. I don't get any pop-up warning or anything, the only thing that happens
is that it takes a bit longer to load the mail. Anyway, that's been my
experience with it..
