Guide Review - Inbox Protector 1.5 - Outlook Spam Filter
If you are like most email users, you get to see, curse and delete tons of spam every day. Wouldn't it be nice if your email program could do that for you?
With the Inbox Protector add-in, Outlook can. After Outlook has fetched new mail, Inbox Protector scans it and puts the spam it detects in a special "Junk Mail" folder. And Inbox Protector is pretty good at spotting spam.
Yet, while you can specify how sensitive you want the filters to be, they are not transparent. You can, however, easily add your own text filters to the individual categories, and addresses to the list of blocked and allowed senders.
Inbox Protector works great out of the box, but some spam may still escape its fine-grained filters (of course).
