Spam Inspector 4.0
Spam Inspector is a great anti-spam tool that uses both adaptive (Bayesian) and collaborative filtering to filter junk while -- after some training and configuration tweaks -- leaving good mail alone. While its Hotmail integration is wonderful, it's a pity Spam Inspector can't be used in all email programs and doesn't support all account types (IMAP) everywhere. NewsMonster PRO 1.2.2
NewsMonster PRO is a powerful RSS feed reader with versatile tools to archive, search and organize news and put them in context. It's a bit complex, though, and some details can need more attention. SurfSecret SpamDrop 1.1.10
SurfSecret SpamDrop is an easy to use and relatively safe anti-spam plug-in for Outlook with a low rate of false positives. Unfortunately, the rate of detected spam isn't stellar either. Spam Sleuth 3.0.0
Spam Sleuth is a comprehensive anti-spam tool, and thanks to its Bayesian filtering it can also be very effective against junk email. The default settings aren't ideal, though, and configuring Spam Sleuth can be overwhelming. MailTemplate 1.3.3
MailTemplate adds useful templates to Mac OS X Mail. Thanks to several macros it is quite flexible. Unfortunately, quoted text support isn't that good, and toolbar/menu integration would be nice. Mach5 Mailer 4.0
Mach5 Mailer is an excellent choice for composing and delivering highly personalized bulk emails fast. SpamBayes Outlook Addin 0.8.1
The SpamBayes Outlook Addin employs sophisticated analysis using Bayesian statistics to rid your Outlook Inbox of junk mail precisely and in an easy to use manner. It would be great if SpamBayes' classifying power could be used to further categorize and prioritize good messages. MailNavigator 1.8
MailNavigator is a great tool for browsing and searching messages in other, even multiple email clients. It is not a full email client itself, however. Spam OFF 1.6
Spam OFF is a comprehensive spam and virus filtering solution that combines multiple strong methods of junk mail detection. Unfortunately, they are not always accurate and false positives do occur. Outclass 1.2.4.1
Outclass integrates POPFile with Outlook for easy to use and extremely accurate spam filtering and automatic mail classification. It even works with all email account types, something you can't easily do with POPFile alone. Unfortunately, Outclass is not 100% stable and doesn't work well with Outlook 2003's vertical view. SweetMail 2.2
SweetMail successfully combines clever features with simplicity, but unfortunately also has several shortcomings. Email Merge 2.1.1
Email Merge is a simple, but effective bulk email application with flexible mail merging capabilities, but no internal mail delivery. Advanced Maillist Verify 4.25
Advanced Maillist Verify is an easy to use yet powerful and reliable tool for keeping mailing lists clean of undeliverable, non-working email addresses. Lockspam 1.0
Lockspam locks away just about all spam in a special Outlook folder. Unfortunately, this is also where you'll have to look for all your good mail if you don't use the white list of known senders excessively. SpamX 1.1
SpamX is a great tool for determining the source of spam and lets you send precise and correct complaints easily, too. SpamX' proprietary method of determining spam is not so precise, though. sMailing 5.0
A capable and fairly flexible bulk email tool, sMailing makes sending highly personalized messages easy. Unfortunately, it lacks some features that could add further power to the ease. Mac OS X Mail 1.3
Mail is the solid, powerful and easy to use email program built into Mac OS X, and its smart spam filters will get rid of practically all junk mail for you. SpamBurner 1.67
SpamBurner is simple and easy to use, and a quite effective anti-spam tool. PostCast Server 2.6.0
PostCast Server is a fine -- and free -- personal outgoing mail server that allows you to send email from anywhere to anybody fast and with enhanced privacy and security. SerialMailer 2.4
SerialMailer is a basic bulk email tool, but it comes with enough power and flexibility to deliver personalized mailings quite professionally. PopScan 4.41
PopScan is a small, fast and useful mail checker for POP accounts that even incorporates anti-spam filters. Inbox 1.92
Inbox is a really nice and really useful mail checker for POP and IMAP accounts. It's a pity Inbox doesn't display message info as it announces and you can't use any filtering. Microsoft Office Outlook 2003
Microsoft Office Outlook works great together with other Office System applications and as an email/calendar combination, but Outlook also shines as an email client with great organizational talent (virtual folders, versatile searching) and solid spam filtering. Unfortunately, Outlook suffers from a lack of flexible message templates and encourages bad email style. PGP Mail for Windows 8.0.3
PGP Mail for Windows provides strong public key encryption with a comfortable interface and easy to use plug-ins for popular email clients. Unfortunately, they can't be used with the free version. Spam Punisher 2.4
Spam Punisher is some help with complaining about spam to the right ISP, but it doesn't achieve SpamCop's sophistication and efficiency. |
