Email Filter

AI Thread Summary

A good spam filter is essential for managing unwanted emails while preserving genuine correspondence. The effectiveness of spam filters can vary based on the email client in use. Thunderbird comes with built-in spam filtering capabilities, making it a convenient choice for users of that platform. In contrast, Outlook, particularly version 6, does not have robust spam filtering out of the box and typically requires additional software to effectively manage spam. Users seeking to minimize spam while ensuring important emails are not lost should consider their email client when selecting a spam filtering solution.

The software you choose depends on which mail client you use. Thunderbird already has built in spam filtering. Outlook on the other hand requires additional software.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
