It's small limitations, and these limitation doesn't decrease _main_ functionality ----->8-------------------------------------- from WinClipboard Difference Lite-version from Full-version: ------------------------------------------ - internal server process requests only from local computer; - impossible to delete internal headers which added by POP3 Catcher; - number of alternatives in one filter limited for 3 against 10 in Full-version; - message preview is absent. Also absent possibility for message deletion from box and marking for deletion message awaiting on server; - dial-up dialer and connection scheduler is absent; - system selective download filter for messages with IP from blacklist is absent; ----->8-------------------------------------------------------- PP> So convince me :-): PP> Why am I going to prefer POP3Catcher over SpamPal? :-))) For me - usabilty and assessed cost of the service -- Best regards, Alexander Leschinsky - MOTD: I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
