Hi been looking around for a new email client, for some reason Outlook will not install and run on my laptop (but thats another story).Anyway came across this piece of software made in China, warning bells rang, having seen doco's about cyber attacks/wars etc with a lot of activity being traced to China and so I downloaded the programme and then uploaded it to Virus Total to check it out (my AV says it's clean) The results are attached. Is 2/41 deemed to be safe? Would appreciate any feedback before I install, incidentally the programme looks good and there may not be a problem ... but...

1242545 2011-11-09 10:09:00 why don't you use thunderbird or some other well known program? I would never trust that kind of software chumscrubber (16416)

1242548 2011-11-09 19:59:00 +1 also for Thunderbird.

So easy to use and a degree of customization and add on's such as the calendar etc.
