very recently perhaps with a McAfee or Thunderbird update , I am seeing a message that McAfee stops a threat every time thunderbird does a message retrieval. see attachments. I have checked my outlook account directly and deleted a bunch of messages but it persists.

Disable McAfee scanning of incoming mails. Then go to TB menu > Settings and search for virus > enable 'Allow antivirus clients to quarantine individual incoming messages'.

I experienced McAfee being triggered popping up a message about a malicious NEWMSG every time I started up Thunderbird 150.0.1 (64-bit). I discovered that a Donation Request from Thunderbird/Mozilla had opened a tab with a donation request page in it. I closed the tab and the McAfee issue went away. Dumb luck on my part discovering this.
