I am a happy BD user, but I would like to understand how the software protects emails sent and received via client (Thunderbird). I currently have three accounts, one IMAP and two POP3.

Once a week I do a complete scan which lasts about 10 hours. The problem is that about 1.5 hrs into the scan it stops (as far as I can tell) and indicates that I have password protected zip files with options of a password, skip or skip all. This is bad because it delays the process esp if I run it over night. It would be…
