Configuring Outlook Express
- In the Outlook Express top menu, pull down Tools, then select Accounts.
- Select the Mail tab, select the account you want to change to use SAproxy, then click on Properties.
- Select the Servers tab and make note of the Incoming Mail (POP3) and the Account name settings.
- Change the Account name setting to be a combination of the original Account name setting and the Incoming Mail (POP3) setting, separated by a colon. Then, Change the Incoming Mail (POP3) setting to "127.0.0.1".
- Click the OK button and then the Close button.
- You're done! If SAproxy is running, then your mail will be downloaded through SAproxy. If SAproxy is not running, then you will not be able to download your mail until you restore your original settings.
Filtering in Outlook Express
This section describes how to set up a filter in Outlook Express to take advantage of SAproxy.
- In the Folders menu, right click on Local Folders and click on the New Folder... option.
- Type "Spam" and click the OK button.
- In the Outlook Express top menu, pull down Tools, go down to Message Rules, and then select the Mail... option.
- Make certain that the Mail Rules tab is selected, then click on the New... button to create a new mail rule.
- In the New Mail Rule window, select Where the Subject line contains specific words as the Condition for your rule and Move it to the specified folder as the Action for your rule.
- Click on the underlined value that reads "contains specific words". Type "*****SPAM*****" and click the Add button and then click the OK button. That was five asterisks, followed by "SPAM", and then five more asterisks. No spaces.
- Click on the underlined value that reads specified. Select the Spam folder that you just created and click the OK button.
- Type in a name for the new rule such as "SAproxy", and click on the OK button and then another OK button.
- Now, incoming spam will automatically go into the Spam folder. You may want to check through it periodically just in case you have any false positives.
