If you enabled POP you wouldn't need to.

Ok looking in g-mail now... So my host can forward to a g-mail account??

**Zuzana Designs** · 07-25-2008, 07:36 PM

Anything else out there ??

**MediaGuy** · 07-25-2008, 08:40 PM

We use lastspam.

But i think the best protection is your own brains and a good local email client filtering system.

Spamarrest This is what i use for years now, they use a clever system, check it out, works perfect

Thunderbird's spam filters ROCK. It has very very few false positives. It was made by the firefox guys - that about says it all on how well it works.

Why on earth would you use POP3 when gmail also offers IMAP?

Cloudmark

**Evil E** · 07-26-2008, 11:04 AM

hotmail has a great spam filter and my isp uses them now for serving emails so i get maybe 1 spam email in my inbox per month and a couple per week in the spam box.

**Vick!** · 07-26-2008, 03:01 PM

Why on earth you would stick your email in sig like that? don't you know the way spammers work?

Use these tools to make image of your email address, and keep in sig, if you must.

http://safemail.justlikeed.net/

Otherwise, best way, IMO, is setting up a contact form and linking to it from your signature. I get only 1 spam mail per week to my email address in sig.

**Vick!** · 07-26-2008, 03:03 PM

also, try gmail .. In my experience its spam filter rocks. I hardly see any email in my inbox which should not be.

**CurrentlySober** · 07-26-2008, 03:04 PM

Yup... Gmail

Really? More power to you, but my hotmail account has the worst spam filter ever. Gmail is great, but hotmail flags so many real emails as spam, and spam as real. It's the worst (for me) between yahoo, gmail, and hotmail.

**BigBen** · 07-26-2008, 04:59 PM

SpamAssassin on the server works great.

Google works great.

I check my spam folder pretty often and if there's something that's not spam flagged as spam, I unflag it and their filter adapts. I VERY RARELY get wrongly filtered emails. It works great for me.

Of course if you don't train the filter, it will make some errors from time to time because an algorithm can only be so intelligent.

I was hardcore Outlook Express at one time.

I'd guesstemate GMAIL saves me at least an hour a day.

Thats nice

**Zuzana Designs** · 07-26-2008, 09:42 PM

Looks like g-mail may be the one that seems to work best...

**the content guy** · 07-26-2008, 10:24 PM

I set up all my different pop emails to cc my gmail account so I rarely even keep thunderbird or outlook open anymore, plus it's great if you work off multiple machines. Gmail's search feature is also the best I have found, type in your keyword and it gives you instant results. Lately I have started gmailing myself notes and documents that I can easily pull up whenever I need them anywhere in the world on any computer.

Thanks, I did read the whole post.

Outlook supports IMAP.

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/micro...-outlook-2007/

Why would anyone use POP3 when they could use IMAP?

**Bred** · 07-27-2008, 08:58 AM

Gmail +!

**redKommunication** · 07-31-2008, 07:25 PM

Post your tits and I'll show you how to use Gmail's spamfilter on your Outlook.

**CyberHustler** · 07-31-2008, 07:31 PM

Gmail...

**Spunky** · 07-31-2008, 07:31 PM

Spam arrest works great but the occasional not spam.I just save them and whip though em.a pain

**undersoul** · 07-31-2008, 07:53 PM

Indeed, you've lost a couple of important messages. I sent a few people to you and they never received a response. They ended up using a company in Europe. BTW, try MailWasher Pro.

**tony286** · 07-31-2008, 08:11 PM

cloudmark was really good. I used it when I used to use outlook.
