outlook express spam filter

A Better Outlook on EmailInstalling a new email client is often the last thing on anyone’s mind. But Mozilla’s Thunderbird, which promises tougher spam filters and clever customization, is a strong contender to Microsoft’s Outlook or Outlook Express. A built-in RSS reader lists updates on desired Web pages (news sites, blogs), while the message grouping function bundles emails by date or sender. As for viruses, Thunderbird doesn’t let attachments automatically open within the program, a problem found in other email clients. The only caveat concerns importing: Some users find it difficult and time-consuming to move their contacts and archived emails from their old program over to Thunderbird.Downloads in one month after its December 2004 launch: More than 4 million.
