Atricle Dump - Outlook Express: How To Filter Spam (Part Two of Two)
Recently I shared with my readers a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt, who said: "Do one thing every day that scares you." I asked you to send me your stories about doing something that scared you in the service of your own progress and growth.I got some great responses and want to share one that touched on an issue that is nearly universal: how to deal with conflict constructively.This reader wrote that after reading the quote and invitation, she gathered her courage and spok

These days buying online has become common place and you are able to get almost anything you like, for instance, are you in the market for a gift? Maybe for your mother, father or possibly for a valued work colleague who has provided many years of loyal service? Perhaps someone you know is celebrating a landmark birthday or anniversary? No matter what the occasion, watches make wonderful gifts for almost anyone; it doesnt matter whether its a 100th birthday, or a childs first watch.
Outclass integrates POPFile's classification engine into Outlook.

You can set up "buckets" (or categories) easily and have Outclass file or delete matching messages automatically.
Outclass works with IMAP or Exchange accounts just like incoming POP mail.
Cons:
Some users report instability and crashing under some circumstances.
Outclass doesn't work neatly with Outlook's vertical pane layout.
SpamAid
Using Bayesian statistics from a database of existing spam, no initial training period is necessary.
Unfortunately you will have to rely on someone else's definition of spam in the beginning so you may see some false positives right out of the box.
In addition to Bayesian filtering, SpamAid uses "blacklists" and "whitelists" to streamline spam filtering. It also uses a system of "phrase filters" that you can customize.
Pros
Uses Bayesian filtering with a high accuracy
You can "spam-test" your own outgoing mail for its potential of being caught in someone else's spam filter
Easy to use
Cons
You cannot tell SpamAid to scan certain folders automatically.
False positives can be expected when you start using it.
SpamBayes Outlook Addin
The SpamBayes Outlook Addin leverages the proven track record of Bayesian spam filtering technology. Pros:
SpamBayes can show you a detailed analysis of a message's overall spam probability.
Cons:
Not easy to sub-categorize "good email" into separate folders
SpamCatcher Outlook
On the plus side, SpamCatcher combines a content-scoring filters with a user network that is providing feedback on their spam. It can be used as a POP proxy so you can use it with most email clients, not just Outlook.

The impact of stress in the workplace is a staggering $300,000,000! This is roughly $7,500 per employee, spent annually in the U.S. on stress-related compensation claims, reduced productivity, absenteeism, health insurance costs, direct medical expenses and employee turnover. Just reading that statistic can cause you stress!Because it doesnt show up as a line item number in the budget, companies are not addressing this very expensive issue.

Over time, you will meet a lot of people through your networking activities. It can be a challenge for you to stand out and for people to remember you.

Trend Micro Anti-Spam Pilot
Anti-Spam Pilot uses heuristic filters to spot and isolate spam. This is a somewhat older technology where you filter the email by looking for patterns that might match a collection of known spam. For example, the anti spam software might find certain words, phrases, punctuation, that give it a clue that this is spam in your email box. It then provides a score for the email. If the score is too high, the anti spam software will isolate the spam into a separate folder or do anything else you specify.
This approach is different than a Bayesian filter that actually learns as you go. The upside of this is that you don't have to spend a lot of time "training" the filter. The downside is that it doesn't detect as much spam as some other packages using Bayesian technology.
You do have the option of reporting missed spam (false negatives) and the rare spam emails that escape through the filter (false positives). You can also keep a list of spammers (a blacklist) and a list of legitimate emailers (a whitelist) as a way to increase Anti-Spam Pilot's overall effectiveness.
Pros
Simple and uncomplicated to use
Detects a good deal of spam
Low number of false positives
It's easy to reclassify email mistaken as spam (and vice versa)
Cons
Does not filter IMAP accounts, only POP accounts
Only works with Outlook
