One of the most annoying things that can happen
is to get mail-bombed or spammed. You find that your mail software
insists on downloading everything before you can delete it, and
that could take ages.
Well, probably the most effective answer is the
POP3 MailBox Scanner,
which is free, very simple to use, and allows you to just get the
message headers from your mail server, and delete the stuff you
don't want without ever downloading it at all.
The coolest thing of all is that the POP3 MailBox
Scanner is totally free for you to use. You can actually use it
to read your mail if you like, and can quickly and easily 'train'
the software to recognise features in spam-mail, deleting them automatically
whenever you like.
Download it free from
http://www.kempston.demon.co.uk/smb/
and give it a try. Its well worth your time.
Remember that, because this allows you to see what
mail is on the server before you download it, it also acts
as a great way to protect yourself from Email virus programs.
There is an even simpler solution to spam and bulk
mail of course: Use the special, free,
web-based Email I have provided. This includes special filters
for spam and bulk-mailings that you can adjust to your own needs.
