Is there any e-mail software that can match incoming mail addresses
with the addresses existing in a personal add. book as a way of asking
"permission" to be accepted?
In other words, is there any way of accepting only mail from contacts
who have personally passed on addresses, and prevent any other mail
being downloaded from an ISP?
I mean, if loverly MSN/Hotmail can provide blocks to a never-ending
list of addresses when using webmail, then the reverse process would
seem to be an ideal way of blocking spam.
Have a look at Pimmy .
I can look at my mail on the ISP's server , delete ( spam removal ) ,
reply , click on links & if I want it on my comp , click on Move to >
Archive .
Use right click for some of the functions .
You can still leave any other email client installed . Just a matter
of choosing which one you want as default .
