[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I setup a Yahoo account one day in advance of going on a trip and wanting easy access. Within 5 minutes of setting up the account I had spam. It continued until I gave up and closed the account. I no longer have a Yahoo account, nor allow any other free email to reach me. It is all filtered to the garbage. If you do not want to maintain a reputable account with a reputable company, then I guess I do not need to email with you: or so goes my really narrow theory of email friends. I will look again at your software...... something has to work...... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net Zone Alarm sets up a folder in Outlook and dumps the spam emails in a "Phishing Mail" folder and or "Junk Mail" folder. I set it up to automatically delete when I close Outlook. 100% better than using Norton. I think the full name is Zone Alarm Security Suite. Yeah, I used Yahoo mail during Katrina which worked fine except for the few hundred spam emails that Yahoo's filter ignores.
