When I go to "file Manager", "Mail" and opens the folder of one of my accounts (vizcares), I find a 18562k big file called "inbox" and when I click on show file I get this:

From MAILER-DAEMON Wed May 12 08:34:11 2004

If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created
with the data reset to initial values.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Content-Type: text/plain;
   charset="Windows-1252"

Please have a look at the attached file.

Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
   name="document_4351.pif"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
   filename="document_4351.pif"

and then a lot of letters

Is there anyone who can tell me what this is, and if I can delete it, I don't like that about a .pif file

Hi vizcares

If you dont know anyone from rima-tde.net ( The senders IP) and dont know a cristi__ep@hotmail.com its either spam or a virus ( probably more than likely a virus.)

Do you not run with anti-virus software ?

This file is in my cPanel in "File Manager", but when I use OE It isn't shown.

Should I delete it straight away?

The inbox file is your entire inbox, so no, you should not delete it unless you want to delete ALL the messages in your inbox. In OE, did you look in the account to which the inbox pertains? Did you search for the file by the subject, name, date? You have to delete the individual message to get rid of the pif reference in the inbox file.
