If all your mail downloads are attended, they are correct -- the
redundancy exists. However, the on-access scanner in default
configuration on detecting a virus can, and does, stop TB from
completing the download. Several users have resorted to using the
Connection Centre, which lets you delete a message from the server
without NAV interfering.

Additionally, the default email configuration is to prevent timeouts
by "pinging" your mail server, thus keeping open your connection to
the Internet. If you have a metered connection, this can incur
additional costs.

FWIW, I spoke to Symantec UK about this issue after NAV 2001 held my
connection (paid for by the minute) open for nearly two hours. They
pointed out that I could choose a different option for mail scanning
and advised me to use the configuration that I described.
