Dealing with email spam on a phone

handyman · 27-03-2009 1:53pm #1

Hi There,

Is there any way of getting a thing like 'spamfighter' to get rid of span when you check your emails on your phone?

I have spamfighter on my outlook express email n it works a treat but its time consuming and laborious having to delete 101 emails individually.

Greatful of any help/suggestions.

Regards

You could try getting gmail to filter the emails for you? It's spam filters should kick in i think if it checks external accounts. Then check gmail from your phone.

You can also setup emails sent from gmail to show as having come from your main account.

I haven't used either so im not sure how good or not they are.

They don't say exactly how that Soda works. They call it "an alternative to POP3". Looks like the might download the messages and then forward whatever they don't class as spam. Would that be a good idea, letting a third party into my email, if that's what happens.

OP, did you find something?

Or anyone else?

There is plenty of AV/Securty software for mobile/PDA but none with spam blockers. Strange, as the PC versions of most products do have spam blockers.

EDIT: Found this, giving it a try. http://www.pocketpcsoft.com/index.php
