I guess i will switch to Outlook since in thunderbird i could not fight with spam effectievely. But before deciding to the switch, i want to know how is outlook in fighting with spam.

What do you use? Just filters? Any commercial or free solution?

Outlook has an excellent spam filter built in. But if you turn it to max protection, it'll put some of your regular emails in the spam box.

Hi there,

My biggest spam prevention with Outlook was not to use it...joking. I liked Outlook, but I went a little OpenSource and decided to use Thunderbird. Thunderbird is brilliant if I might add, but I think Outlook is great too.

Don't stick to the same software, you know what Mothers always say, "Always be sure to try new things!".
