End Point Sec and Protection - Email / pop3 protection?

Buddy

We've moved from KAV Business Space Security to EPSC 9.7 deployed via EC 4.7.

As a test i've received several eicar laced emails and all came through ok to the EPSC clients and it wasn't until we saved then executed the files (.com .exe) that an alert came up.  On the KAV clients the emails were removed from Outlook and replaced with a virus found message, even on the odd client we have with Avast we were denied access to the virus emails.

I've searched and searched within the EC polices in relation to email / pop3 (Outlook clients) protection and can find nothing to configure for email protection.  Am i missing something?

Thanks.

    I understand what you're saying but you're missing or choosing to ignore my point.  Sophos EPSP doesn't offer mail protection beyond last gasp brute force approach.  Free products (for personal use) manage it far better and I’’’’m disappoint having extensively used the likes of Symantec Endpoint, Kaspersky Business Space and Trend Micro Business Security that Sophos is so poor in this area.

    Decoding and extracting attachments does not significantly delay or cause issues in my experience when using POP3 scanning in any scenario I’’’’ve used.  Nor is POP3 scanning overrated or a relic.  There are circumstances where it is advantageous to run dedicated clients outside of the scope of groupware platforms.

    I was expecting as with other products that Sophos end point client protection would include the ability to safely manage dangerous email payloads upon there arrival without the need to execute a virus to get protection.
