 There are many tools and techniques designed to rid your Inbox of spam, but most have one significant shortcoming: you need to download the junk mail before it can be processed and (hopefully) deleted.
Chrysanth Mail Manager is different. It works directly with your mail server to discover any waiting messages, but only downloads the headers, not the emails themselves. This means any spam can be detected and deleted at the maximum speed, with the minimum of effort, and without your regular email client (which you continue to use as normal) ever knowing anything about it.
The program comes with a variety of methods you can use to identify unwanted mail. There's support for public DNS-based spam blocking lists, for instance, that identify common sources of spam. Mail Manager comes with a list of 20, 4 of which are enabled by default, and you can add as many others as you like.
You also get a customisable White List (friends email addresses, emails from which should never be treated as spam) and Black List (addresses that only ever send you spam, emails from here should be deleted immediately).
Mail Manager comes with a decent set of tools for building filters, too, which enable you to search for suspect keywords in the Subject field, unlikely addresses in From or To fields, and more.
Other welcome bonuses include automated import of Outlook and Outlook Express accounts, and detailed statistics and graphs on the amount of spam each account receives, so if your Inbox needs a serious spring clean then Mail Manager could well be worth a look.
