Inbox100 is no longer available.
- Inbox100 offers easy to use and efficient whitelist filtering
- Mail from unknown senders is analyzed for spam probability using a Bayesian engine
- The Bayesian analysis in Inbox100 starts way too aggressively
- Inbox100 doesn't really seem to learn much or quickly either
- Inbox100 works with Outlook and Outlook Express only
- Inbox100 is a spam filtering plug-in for Outlook and Outlook Express.
- Using a white list, Inbox100 allows only mail from approved senders to the Inbox.
- All other mail is collected in a "Quarantine" folder or deleted immediately.
- Inbox100 applies Bayesian analysis to quarantined mail so you can easily see its spaminess.
- You can also have Inbox100 auto-delete mail with a high spam probability.
- A black list of unwanted senders lets Inbox100 delete mail from certain senders automatically.
- Inbox100 scans your address book and user-specified folders to populate the white list.
- All whitelisted addresses are encrypted to protect them from being harvested by spammers.
- Inbox100 supports Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/3/XP and Outlook Express 5/6, Outlook 2000/2/3.
This is what Inbox100 does. Mail from approved senders arrives in your Inbox while messages from unknown senders go to a "Quarantine" folder. Now, the idea is to apply Bayesian analysis to the messages in this folder to help you find the good mail from as-yet unknown senders.
Inbox100 inserts the computed spam probability to the message subject so it's easy to sort the list by spaminess. Approving messages is also easy via a toolbar button (Inbox100 also removes the spam score from the subject), but unfortunately the Bayesian filter is so stuck to assigning 99% of spam probability to all mail in the "Quarantine" folder that it is more or less useless.
Inbox100 boils down to a simple whitelisting tool, which it does well, but which isn't a good anti-spam strategy overall.
