IMAP Spam Software? Free?

Lawbag_2

Can anyone recommend SPAM software that works with IMAP email accounts?

Oh, and Id prefer it if you know it works rather than suggesting one that has it listed on the documentation.

A lot of the ones I have tried that claim to be IMAP compatible, aren't.

Sorry for sounding terse.

not to sure which email account you have but my mail host has its own spam filtering and its very good, I have my own domain name through 1and1 and I use the imap account and can set the spam filter through 1and1

I have been trying for ages to find a decent piece of IMAP compatible anti-spam software as I use a really obscure email client.

In the end I decided to install MS Outlook (as it is compatible with a number of free spam filters) and downloaded SpamBayes. However, having set it up to work with Outlook, I find that it should be compatible to work with IMAP mail boxes directly (though I have only used it via the Outlook plug-in).

So far SpamBayes is the only anti-spam solution I have found that works without either deleting legitimate mail or just allowing every mail into my inbox!

You can download it here: http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/
