I am using Bitdefender Internet Security. I do NOT want it checking my emails. I have Anti-Spam for email in that software disabled.
I also have the Thunderbird Anti Virus feature to "make it easy for anti-virus software to analyse incoming mail messages for viruses before they are stored locally" disabled.
Yet, I still see a somewhat greyed out Bitdefender feature top right in Thunderbird ever since I updated Thunderbird several iterations to 128.1.0esr (64-bit), and the REAL PROBLEM is that now it takes a long time for my email to get downloaded from the mail servers.
So I suspect that Bitdefender is still able to check that email thus delaying it in the download process, and having the feature in Thunderbird for Anti Virus disabled is simply stopping Bitdefender from tagging emails as spam and moving them into the junk folder (which is also undesirable to me).
If I have that Anti Virus feature in Thunderbird disabled, I would expect that it should make it impossible for Bitdefender to even place a button, greyed out or not, in Thunderbird, or have any other access to it for any reason whatsoever.
I really hope there's a solution I'm somehow missing, or that Mozilla can address this, as it's a real pain waiting an extra few minutes every time I download my email!
