'til I dload Thunderbird (by Mozilla) and now I m not sure which one mail client to use. But, I think, critical moment for my decision is Junk Mail Control in Thunderbird (very easy to use and very efective!). Why we dont have something like that in The Bat?

Apart from that there's a load of spam proxies that work perfect for every pop3 client. __________________________________ I'm just a user of The Bat! I don't work for Ritlabs.

You configure your email software to get mail from 'localhost' (127.0.0.1). Sitting on port 110 on localhost is the Spam proxy. It fetches your mail using the login details requested by the email software and returns the email stream without the spam. Yes, OE can use Spam Proxies. iviarck
