Default Outlook express help please.....

Right,

We set-up our outlook and email addres's some 5-6 yrs ago, since then my dad has died, but we still get spam to his address, is there a way of stopping it?? i can't seem to see a way by actually going into the mail on Wanadoo, is there something on outlook to sort this slightly delicate situation...

All help greatly appreciated.....

Cheers.

Sorry to here about your Dad Ron. Got an idea how it must be like as my Dad past away last year with lung cancer, and it was quite hard on my family.

Anyway to answer your question. Have a look at this:

Unfortunately Outlook 2003 is the only MS Mail product I know of which has a built in spam filter.

I hope this is helpful?

Feel for you Ron, my wife still misses her father after 7 years she is still yet to visit his grave I tend to it for her. Anyway I use a product call mailwasher it enables you to view the from and subject of every email before downloading it into outlook express. It enables you to blacklist by email address or entire domain if you so wish. Helps me sift through 200 emails a day easily.

Go here: http://www.mailwasher.net/

Oh and it's FREE double bonus
