Unless I've missed something, POPFile is a proxy that sits between your email program and the server. It should work with any POP3 email client.

They're working on adding IMAP to the next version.

When I installed POPFile, I seem to remember that it updated the server info in OE automatically. Regardless, manually, it's a minor tweak to the usual pop.yourdomainname.com (to 127.0.0.1) and the username entries.

For Eudora/OE/Outlook/Pegasus, see http://popfile.sourceforge.net/manual/email.html

This recommendation would have a lot more credibility if it weren't ripped word for word from a review of a competing product.

I don't get it.

Have you tried Spam Bayes http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/

I used it for about a year and it's quite good and free. I am now using Bloomba in place of Outlook and I kind of like it even though I have the latest copy of Microsoft Office with the new Outlook sitting on a shelf.

Bloomba has a built-in version of Spam Assasin.

After tweaking my filters at the server level I am hardly getting any SPAM where before I would get dozens every day. Something FQuest should do is to try and implement some of the other SA options. On another host that I use I can for e.g. specifiy only English so I do not receive those horrid Chinese spams which I cannot even read anyway.

Ooo! Someone's got their Inspector Clousseau hat on today! Good'n, Randall...

Careful, there. Don't scrunch the ears.

Interesting that Mozilla can display BMP images -- I never would have expected that.
