The integration only adds additional features, such as Antispam (for products that have it) or a dedicated button to rescan messages from within Outlook.
However, all emails are scanned for viruses independent on the email client, as we scan messages directly on the communication protocol (POP3, IMAP, etc...)
This is not an accurate statement, at least in regards to clients connecting to an Exchange server. I am a system administrator and I get a forward of any suspicious emails that come from our system. However since I've upgraded to Office 2016, I have not gotten any notifications of viruses in my emails, even though a co-worker, who gets the same emails, gets these notifications several times a day using Outlook 2013.
Unfortunately, we are starting to move people to Office 2016 in order to take advantage of some of the document sharing functionality. I sincerely hope that this plugin in finished quickly so that we can have the best protection possible for our team. I know the development process can be difficult and I appreciate the work that the Eset team puts in to get these updates rolled out.
