HAY GUYS

As you guys know, spam can be a bitch at work. And my inbox has been getting increasingly worse and worse these past few weeks.

So. I was wondering if theres actually a GOOD freeware form of removing this shit from my vision. I've tried a few programs and none of them made me too happy for their individual reasons.

I don't want to use it on the server - just my box. If you guys have suggestions for a server form, I'll hear you, but I would really rather not be responsible for everyone else whining about shit. I want to worry about my own box.

So yea. What do you guys suggest?

I don't really get too much spam at home and obviously, I don't use the capabilities of either softwares at home since I don't need to. But here at the office, I am sure you understand that I need to use features and shit often.

So, I guess my question is: does Thunderbird and Microsoft Office have comparable features?

Also, just how powerful is Thunderbird's spam filter? Because I get a SHITLOAD of spam. (100+ every morning with only 10 or so real emails.)

(THANK YOU ROPH~)

Well, technically, if I WANT to buy spam software, I CAN. It's on the company, you know?

But I would rather AVOID having to pay and install the software. I mean, I have these incredibly high expectations of things I pay for. It's silly, I know.

But worst comes to worst, I'll crack and buy it. ^_^

EDIT: After downloading Mozilla Firebird from Mozilla, may it be noted that there was a virus embedded in the file mapiattach.tmp. Or so Norton tells me. I tried to google it and it seems I am not alone in finding it in the installation.

Is there a better place for me to download an older version or something?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I use AVG at home, duder. I'm not a big fan of it, though. Too...cumbersome. I like things to run quietly in the background and not fucking HASSLE me all the time.

Norton is just what the company decided to use. I dunno. I hate it too. But hey. Whatcha gonna do. Sometimes, we don't get control of things like we'd want. =D

(Incidentally, I installed and am running Thunderbird. I removed whatever crap was imbedded. Now, I can't have my old emails from Outlook imported into Thunderbird. ;_; Outlook is NOTORIOUS for having shit back-ups of emails, I guess.

I save ALL of mine. For, you know, record purposes. >_>

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
