I’d still recommend you to try Thunderbird before purchasing Spambully:
1. Thunderbird spam filtering is also based on a Bayesian self-learning spam filter and is reported to be very efficient
2. Majority of email exploits are directed to Outlook/OE and can easily be avoided with alternative software
3. Thunderbird is Open Source which means FREE and with a large development base

I recently decided I’d had enough spam when the spam outnumbered the real email by 10 to 1. I guess that proves that I’ve had my email addresses too long and they’ve ended up on everybody’s lists. Even with it’s flaws I still use Outlook Express. I’ve used OE since 2000, before that on the Windows side I used Eudora, Pegasus Mail and Netmanage Chameleon. (anybody remember that one?) I considered using Mozilla Thunderbird because of its spam filtering, but it’s still at version 0.4 and doesn’t look quite ready yet. And then I found Spam Bully at http://www.spambully.com> , a spam filter add-in for Outlook and Outlook Express. It took about a day to train but after that all my spam is out of my inbox and safely diverted to a spam folder. So far I’m pleased and will probably buy the program after the evaluation period is up.

Hey Senor,
Just thought I’d add to the comments by saying that this is making some pretty kewl reading (am working my way backwards, chronologically) and that this post would be excellent for Marina – she gets loads of spam, except its probably over her head, technology-wise.
Shame 🙁

David,
I use Popfile, which can be foundon sourceforge. Depends on the type of emails you get, but it’s nearly 99.9% accurate for me 🙂
