In the screenshot I am using Windows Live Mail which is a free mail program from Microsoft. It is not Windows Mail, which comes packaged with Vista – Windows Live Mail and Windows Mail are different :) . 

Also, yes the software does have a Junk Mail filter, but it doesn’t work very well. The screenshot was from the Junk Mail folder of my inbox, but I had to move a lot of the mail from my Inbox to the Junk Mail folder. 

Finally, the server is a POP3 mail server. It runs from the server that runs this site (included in my web hosting package). The company that runs my server is A Small Orange (www.asmallorange.com).

Hope that answers all of your questions. You’re exactly the same as me – I am so sick of spending so much time deleting SPAM. I don’t think I spend an hour and a half daily, but I’m probably not far behind.

Also what email service are you using and does it have POP3 capability? Sorry for the questions but i'm intrigued by this article as i spend atleast 1 hour and a half on deleting SPAM from my inbox. - Paul What Email client are you using in the screenshot and does it have spam filtering built in?
