Intellimail has added a spam filter to their email client. It's really a simple white list thing but it's better than nothing. My previous spam filtering solution was SpamBayes but I had to reboot my server and after that SpamBayes refused to start. I could figure out the problem but my inclination is to bin it.
There is an interesting claim in the Intellimail email newsletter (which normally I would regard as spam):
"We're proud to be the first email program in email history to integrate an anti-spam solution completely free of cost to its users."
This is for the version dated 2 June 2004, build 1488.
I think they should qualify this as a commercial email program as Thunderbird already has a much better spam filter. I still find Incredimail a more polished application than Thunderbird. At work I have problems with thunderbird occasionally telling me there are new message available but not listing them. I'd use Incredimail at work but:
Thunderbird has also crashed on me a couple of times. I think this is ok when using IMAP and Maildir as I'm less likely to lose my email archives.
