It re-directs to Download.com which is flaky at best some days and hang for ages, but why not get the Free version http://www.majorgeeks.com/ChoiceMail_Free_d2056.html

While it only does one POP3 email address, it would last longer than a trial of 30 days!

lol
i all ready have the free edition
but thought the this one has a bit more
saves me multitasking through thunderbird and choicemail

also on a different note when i tried spam bully3 when you tried to send the mail to certain spam address it just gets returned to you lol via the postmaster saying that the address doesnt exist. rolleyes and just ends up in your spam folder dohhhh :banghead :banghead

that why i thought i try choicemail they supposed to send the a message to the spammers

Would you be buying the Full version software after 30 days? if not what is the point of using it as you will be back to having spam on day 31? curious as its upto you what you use.

Spammers dont generally have return addresses most are spoofed addresses used in one spam run only.

I really wouldnt bounce emails back to a spammer as all you are doing is saying "hey this email address is used please send it on to all your spam buddies so I can have more spam in my inbox thanks"

K9 is suposed to be pretty good for POP3 mail

I find MS Live Mail, GMail and now Windows Mail spam filters good enough to pop all spam into the junk folder and therefore have no need for a 3rd party app. I also thought Thunderbirds SpamFilter was very good.

hey you are right
im just trying to stop spammers blocking up my email
it nice to receive email from friends and clients
but not some bozzo living in south east asia somewhere propositioning for $10,0000 to invest in his mad schemes. grrrrrr :mad

As for Thunderbird it is a good mail client but it just marks it spam and leaves you to do the rest
I use now firefox add on temporary inbox.com but the flaw in that is that some firms wont except it damn grrr

re. spam bully the address isnt sent to the spammers address but a suppossed firm that deals with spam complaints

Maybe of help http://opensourcearticles.com/introduction_to_thunderbird_5

or try this http://www.codeode.com/spamfilter/thunderbird.html

Spam is with us sadly and no spamfilter will capture all, you will have to train them also with specific keywords taken from missed spam, and if you have ever bounced emails back to a spammer your email address will be on 1000s of lists and spam will never stop to that account.
