Noop,
I followed your advice and obtained bitdefender.
After scanning my mailfolder it detected 8 Trojans in my junk and Trash
folder, which I think was to be expected.
However, I said then to quarantaine thes viruses with the result that he
quarantined my whole mailbox (I'm using Thunderbird) but also removed 3
folders without viruses. I assume thunderbird has some problems with it
but do you know how to 'unquarantine' these folders? Especially one of
them (Home) holds E-mails I have to respond to today!!
I tried to open the quarantained files with thunderbird but that didn't
work (neither worked Evolution).
Hope you can help me out!!

Joep, anytime you 'quarantine' a file it is placed in a quarantine
folder (same with clamav). BD's quarantine folder is located at:
/home/<user>/.local/share/BitDefender-scanner/quarantine
Nothing is done to the quarantined file, it is just moved out of the
originating program's path an placed there for safe keeping. You can
move the files back to Thunderbird.
