I've found that, after a short period of training, the new netscape 7.1 with its sp*m filter is working to the point that my 'throwaway' address has virtually no mail left in the in box after retreiving it. Its a netscape web mail, but with netscape, can be downloaded just as any other pop site. It also works quite well on my other accounts and I would say that out of several hundred sp*m mails in a week, I probably see only a half dozen or so. Now that the training session is over, I only have to click on the sp*m icon to add these few additionals to the listings. Many say that they don't like Netscape, but IMHO, this is one of the best versions with some of the best controls for sp*m and popups.
