STOP JUNK email's ?
« on: January 04, 2005, 08:50:23 AM »
Lately I have been getting junk emails and would appreciate help if possible, with a program that would stop these from coming to my email address.

Thank you in advance.

I use "spambayes".  Works ok, is free, but the server hangs on occasion requiring a restart so you can't just set it running and forget about it.  With only minor monitoring and after training the filter for about 2 weeks, it catches about 19 out of every 20 spam messages and hasn't had a false positive yet.

The Mozilla Email side of firefox is called Thunderbird.

You spend a few days training it what you want and what you don't.

It then automaticly removes the spam.
Very user friendly, configurable, etc.

It and Firefox rule.

I use the Spamcop service. www.spamcop.net

You can either use it as a full fledged webmail, or you can pop down email from your ISP, run it thru SpamCop, then POP it down from them to your email software like Thunderbird or Outlook.

I tried Thunderbird, can't get it to work right with my business applications. It's probably fine as a stand alone email program.

http://www.mozilla.org/

Thunderbird 1.0 is Mozilla’s next generation e-mail client. Thunderbird makes emailing safer, faster, and easier than ever before with the industry’s best implementations of features such as intelligent spam filters, saved search folders, builtin RSS support, privacy protection and much more.

Software that is Mozilla this year ends up being netscape next year.  So in a sence it is sort of beta. However I've yet to have any real problem with any of their software.

Give it a try, I think you'll like it.
It is highly configurable, and easy to work with. Best of all its free of course.  :)

Thanks, installed. Easy.
One dumb question, I use the icon at desk top and avoid the
outlook icon?

You can even delete the outlook shortcut!

I've gone so far as to go to program files/outlook and delete the whole folder.

:)

BTW if you didn't get firefox grab it too.

It has several nice features and is IMO a much better browser. Plus it doesn't keep loseing its settings & constantly trying to update itself.
