I imported old outlook email into Thunderbird. My inbox started receiving lots of rejected email notices, some that say rejected due to virus.

I'm thinking an old email may have a virus in it, but I don't know how to track down which one. I can't scan the emails in Thunderbird. I've since changed my passwords so that Thunderbird can't connect and slowly the rejected email notices stopped.
