any good spam email filtering feature in OUTLOOK 2002?

[walala]

Dear all,

Junk emails became my most headache... everyday I am getting over 200+ junk
emails... I depend on the OUTLOOK junk email filtering feature to block
those junk emails... but the OUTLOOK junk email filtering feature is very
stupid... it asks you to identify junk email by hand manually...

Some junk emails have very strange title and if I block them, I also block
some important emails... Is there any OUTLOOK add-ons having intelligent
junk email filtering function?

I am also using YAHOO email account, it automatic identifies junk email for
me... and send those junk emails to the "bulk email" folder...
unfortunately, every time OUTLOOK fetches emails from YAHOO POP3 account, it
also fetches from the YAHOO "bulk email" folder...

Is there any way that I can instruct OUTLOOK not to fetch emails from "bulk
email" folder of the YAHOO POP3 account?

thanks a lot,

-Walalal

Sure. Just login to your yahoo account, select mail options>pop access and
forwarding. Under 'Web & POP access', de-select "include bulk mail folder
when downloading new messages". Click 'save' at the bottom of the page and
you're done.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

As far as your Yahoo mail account, go into your mail options at the
Yahoo web site and you can disable your mail client getting mail from
your Yahoo bulk email folder.

As far as getting rid of the spam in any accounts other than the Yahoo
account, there are many anti-spam programs that work very well.

It costs money.

You can also check out MailWasher at:

It works altogether differently but it's free.
