I have received an email in my .Mac account which I believe contains a virus (subsequently warned by the sender). How can I delete it without opening it? As soon as I click on my mails they open up.

Usually (OK, I've Never heard otherwise) you have to open the link or file within the email to have a problem - it's not just looking at the email that causes propagation.

Click to expand...

You could try right-clicking on it to see if it gives you the option to delete without opening. But, as was stated by gsahli, shouldn't be an issue anyway.

I edited the title of the thread to something more descriptive since your user name doesn't tell us much. ;)
