The McAfee Anti-Spam version 2.0 addon is globally disabled by Thunderbird because it causes a large number of users to crash, and therefore will not be enabled.

We have been told McAfee will be issuing a new version of the addon. We have no information about when that will happen.

This is not a solution that provides choice. Mozilla has provided the ability for users to disable each Thunderbird add-on or extension, which should be the proper solution for this issue. You guys are starting to look a lot like Microsoft these days...

Version 2 will not be unblocked for a variety of reasons that are in the best interest of most McAfee users. Update your version of McAfee so that you get version 3 of McAfee's antispam addon and you will have a working, non-blocked addon. If you have a compliant, it is best directed to McAfee.
