Uninstall MailInfo. From a quick look at the company site I don't see  
any great benefit to using it. Most of the 'recent info' (quotes from  
computer magazines and the like) is from 2004, the demo includes the  
facts that 'where the email was read is based on info from a third  
party which may be inaccurate' and 'an indication of the email having  
been read, or not, may not be accurate'.  I'm paraprhasing but that's  
the gist of what I get from it.
