Mail Box Dispatcher is an anti-spam tool which previews incoming e-mail messages before they are downloaded, giving the option to delete unwanted messages directly from mailboxes.
It features built-in auto-selection rules, multiple mail boxes, quick access to e-mail client software, and more.
The ability to check mail before it is downloaded to your computer is the best way of eliminating spam and viruses because it cannot arrive at your computer. You can view the mail on your server, specifying the number of lines you wish to see, and then simply delete it before it is downloaded.
Once you are happy with the mail awaiting you, launch your e-mail client directly from Mail Box Dispatcher and get the mail you want delivered normally. Sweet.
An easy-to-use program, probably the hardest part is setting up your e-mail accounts so the program can access them for you. Once they are set up, click on the "Get List" button and a list of the mail waiting for you is displayed. Any questionable mail can be viewed (the default is the first 5 lines, which is normally enough) and all spam mail can be deleted directly from the mail server.
Mail Box Dispatcher is an excellent tool and one which most users will find invaluable.
Worth grabbing!
