What email clients are supported?

Spam Monitor support all popular email programs such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Mail, Mozilla Mail, Eudora or Opera.

If your email clients are not supported by the Configuration Wizard, you still can use Spam Monitor to filter spam messages provided your email clients are using either the POP3 or IMAP4 messaging protocols.

In order to connect to your IMAP4/POP3 mail server, you are required to know the following information.

Incoming IMAP4*/POP3* Mail Server Name or IP address
Login User name
Password

Please Note: Assuming standard port numbers are used.

Locate these settings in Incredimail and update them as follows:

Changing Server Name:
Record your Mail Server Name
Replace your Mail Server Name with 127.0.0.1. This will tell your mail clients to ask Spam Monitor to fetch email on your behalf.

Changing Login User Name:
Append your Mail Server Name to your Login User Name with a '@' symbol between the Login User Name and Mail Server Name.
