Use the exchange email client if you want to synchronize with a Microsoft
Exchange server, use the Blackberry if you've got a blackberry subscription
and want to receive your emails via the blackberry push email system. Or if
you just want plain basic POP3 or IMAP4, just use the standard Messaging
email client.

If you're using POP3 or IMAP4 and are going to use email extensively, then
you'd probably want to have a look at ProfiMail
(<http://www.lonelycatgames.com/index.php?note=profimail&chapter=profimail>),
a third party email client for S60 which has a lot more features than the
built-in email client.

No free antivirus for Symbian. But you do not actually need any antivirus
on the E61. Programs can not run on S60 without having been installed
first, can not install themselves silently and self-signed programs can not
access bluetooth, internet send messages or make phone calls without your
explicit authorization. So as long as you stay clear of warez programs and
programs downloaded on "various" web sites, you can't get any virus on your
phone.

Of course, if you install warez programs or programs coming out of nowhere,
you might end up installing a worm or trojan horse but then an anti-virus
won't be of much help here. It might be able to detect the few known worms
and trojan that exist for Symbian but it won't detect all of them. If you
explicitely allow any program to install on your phone and do whatever they
want to do, there's nothing an antivirus or anything could do for you
unfortunately.
