Ehmmm, there is no "Mail Protection Wizard" in 4.5! Your e-mail accounts are protected automatically.
Just right-click on the blue "a" ball, go to "On-Access Protection Control" and see if mail protection is enabled.

Only if using Windows XP or 2000  ;D
For Windows 98\Me, the user should run Mail Protection Wizard.
