That is getting better but it is still a problem. One great alternative client is Thunderbird, Icedove if you are on Debian. Here is a step by step approach to setting up the Thunderbird client for TLS and SMTP AUTH. |

Because of that alone you should employ a virus scanner on ALL of your machines (Linux, Mac, Windows…) |
