how does it know which is spam and which isnt? i use yahoo and get loads of spam in the junk mail folder, however some legitimate emails go in there too otherwise id just get rid of the spam folder and be done with it. does this prog differentiate between large emails and spam (which both go in my junk folder) im sick of these fake virus emails, i know how i got them, years ago i clicked on an email because it had a friends name on it, i would never have done it otherwise, im well aware of the dangers of clicking on fake emails. trouble is i get 5 a day now. what should i do?. also how do these people who send fake paypal/ebay emails get hold of your email if you have never signed up on a funny site or clicked on an email??

This looks like a similar system to Mail Box Dispatcher which I use.
It deletes spam if you "blacklist" a sender when you receive your first spam from them, it also guesses a "spam rating" at the same time. It also allows you to blacklist automatically any e-mails containing certain words that you specify.eg: Viagra !
It is actually quite useful, especially as you can vet all your e-mails before you download them. Anything you don't like, you can examine, then delete or download as you wish.

is this compatible with yahoo? is it the best one? what does everyone use here? i like the idea of blacklisting key words as well.
