Despite the popularity of web-based email accounts, there are still people who use POP3 mailboxes and email clients such as Outlook Express. If you're one of them, keep on reading because you're going to love this app.

SpamBrave is a powerful antispam tool that sets a filter between your mailbox and the mail server, analyzing each message you download and throwing all the spam away so that it doesn't bother you anymore. Of course, the program's efficiency depends highly on its training, and training takes time. But this learning process has been automated to a certain extent, which means that fortunately you don't have to go over all of your messages one by one.

SpamBrave can take a look at your Outlook folders and learn from what you consider good and bad email messages. If you don't have enough of them, it'll learn from its embedded spam library. Plus you can also create "white" and "black" lists with your approved and banned senders, respectively.

The program is seamlessly integrated into the Outlook interface as a new toolbar and includes some configuration settings with which you can adapt it you your needs.

SpamBrave is a powerful spam filter for Outlook Express that, after some careful training, can help you get rid of those unwanted messages.

Junk email is a major problem and there's hardly a mailbox anywhere that doesn't get some at one stage or another. According to the developers of MailWasher Pro, unwanted email or spam now forms around 90% of received email. MailWasher Pro lets you safely preview and delete bad email before it gets to your computer meaning if it doesn't contain anything harmful, it won't affect your computer.

MailWasher is very easy to use. The developers claim that they took the view that if you can't understand how to use a piece of software in under 5 minutes then it's probably always going to be hard to use. MailWasher Pro analyzes each email as it arrives and warns you if it is suspected junk mail or a virus. There's no real need for you to know this and it would have been better if they'd just blocked everything harmful full stop but at least you know.

The look and feel is like that of Outlook Express and it can be used with the former plus Outlook, Eudora, Netscape, Incredimail and several other major mail clients. This is a powerful program although unless you suffer from serious spam problems, it's not really worth the effort.

Call me ungrateful but I'm fed up with being offered millions of dollars by my distinguished Nigerian relatives or the inheritence of my dog's grandma's Indian cousin. In fact, I'm starting to question whether these guys are even genuine or not. If only I had a program that could weasel out junk mail from the real deal. Oh, hang on, here comes my download of Spam Monitor. Could this be the solution to my quandry?

The answer is yes, for this program is designed to help separate spam messages from genuine emails. It's great because it's aimed largely at non tech-savy users, providing a simple means of stubbing out spam before it reaches your inbox without you having to configure a number of elaborate email filters. There are three different configurations to choose from: Minimum, Normal or Aggressive. I would personally recommend to run it in Normal mode because I found Aggressive was a little too harsh, and marked a lot of my ordinary emails as spam, which is quite annoying. Nevertheless, you do get the option to whitelist certain email addresses or domains to allow them through in future.

Setting up the filters is a very straightforward process and there are plenty of tools bundled with Spam Monitor that can heighten its effectiveness. For instance, the program contains a useful option for blocking all mail from China, Taiwan and Korea, which, unless you have contacts in these places, is very handy because these countries are the source of a lot of junk mail. Although the app can't protect your Webmail, it supports a large range of POP clients, making it a fine tool for ridding your inbox of nonsense.

This application is designed to help you rid yourself of annoying spam emails. Once you tell SpamEater Pro where your ISP's mail server is, and your login information, the program will connect with the server, either on a timed basis, or manually, and check the messages on the server for spam, removing any found and, optionally, archiving locally.

There are a number of fully configurable checks that are performed on the messages. These range from checks to see if the message is from one of your defined Approved Senders, a blocked sender, from a blocked country code, or checking to see if the server that delivered the message is in one of any number of internet blacklist databases.

Highlights of the package include:

Powerful filtering

SpamEater Pro includes a powerful and flexible set of filter rules to help block even the most persistent spammers. There's even a user friendly interface for you to enter your own rules to the many that come with SpamEater Pro. You can filter by message subject, header fields, bodies, blocked senders, message sizes, country codes (NEW in v4.0), and more.

SPF (Sender Policy Framework)

SPF is a means that domain owners can use to tell the rest of the mail servers on the Internet which servers are authorized to send mail for a specific domain. SpamEater Pro can check this, on domains that are using it, to be sure the message is not forged as being from such domains.

Approved senders:

Set up a list of your friends email addresses and SpamEater Pro will always accept their messages. You can even import these addresses from your supported Address Book - from clients such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape, and Eudora.

Real-time internet blacklist support

There are a number of dynamic Blacklists available today on the internet, containing dynamic lists of known spammers, spam-friendly ISPs, dial-up users, open relays, etc. SpamEater Pro can query its set of default databases in real-time and you can add more as desired - there's no limit to the number allowed.

ISP support

SpamEater Pro supports the majority of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) with support for the standard POP3 and SMTP protocols. SpamEater Pro now also supports the secure encrypted SSL versions of these standard protocols with POP3S and SMTPS support.

Flexible scheduled checks

With SpamEater Pro 4.0, you can now set the same or separate schedules for automated checks. With these automated checks, your mailbox should stay free of spam with no effort on your part.

Local message archive
