Microsoft Outlook Spam filter

Guys, i use 2 email address for my personnel email, i recieve them into my outlook account using there pop3 server. But my wanadoo account is full of sh1t and spam, but i have my broadband etc all on this email address and i want to keep it.

I had norton on ny pc which did remove all spam in outlook, but i have now put avg onto the computer so i have lost this option.

I searched google last night, but all spam filter upgrades for outlook are on a 30day trial then buy it after, there must be a free version of this out there, can anybody help me.

Davy

Orange/Wanadoo Email accounts seem to attract more spam than the average email accounts --- and orange spam filtering at ISP level seems non-existent.

The first line of defence against spam is a decent ISP however if you don't want to migrate to an isp that actually filters spam such as PlusNet then you can use an email filter program such as the very excellent K9 by Robin Keir http://keir.net/k9.html You will also need to set up filters in Outlook to dump maIL tagged as Spam.

I would also suggest you switch to Thundebird for handling your Email it has spam filtering built in.

Sign up for Googlemail, have all your accounts filtered through Googlemail. Just one account to set up in outlook and you can use imap so you can synchronise on multiple computers or mobile devices.

Googlemail is pretty good for general email but they have some major crashes resulting in prolonged loss of service incidents where millions of emails got lost.

Google put more resources in and may have got things running more reliably now but I would still wait before using it for mission critical stuff .

On the plus side there is a very nice add on for Thunderbird that makes adding Googlemail accounts to Thunderbird very easy.
