I love e-mail... again. Literally, I never get anything in my inbox I don't want. I don't want to sound like a shill and I'm not affiliated with the company in any way but as a user, but I love ChoiceMail by Digitportal. It's different than rules-based spam managers. From the get go ChoiceMail assumes that anybody in your address book is okay. That's called the 'whitelist'. Everbody else who sends you mail gets a little message in return asking them to click on a link and type in a registration number that's displayed onscreen. The message comes back to me and I can accept or reject it. Incoming mail that doesn't come from folks on the white list is kept in a database on your drive and you can review the senders, domains and subject lines in a window and accept/reject/ban anybody that you want. If you send somebody mail, they're automatically added to your whitelist. My spam mail gets deleted every three days - time frame is configurable. If somebody sends me mail who's not on the whitelist and I want to receive their mail, I can generally catch it right away and bypass the registration. There's alot more to the product so check out their site - digiportal.com if it interests you. It's not the solution for everybody, but it works for me. I generally used to see anywhere from 10 - 30 spam mails a day and now I see none. -Nancy.
