Spam Mail filtering on PPC

[kull]

In the outlook mailbox I see a folder 'Junk Mail' but there is no filtering option? Is there a way to configure this? Or any prog (preferably free) which can do this? Thanks in advance.

The filtering is optionally done by Exchange or Outlook, not the device. The folder is there in case stuff that isn't junk mail gets filed as junk mail. That's the implementation I've always known.

Ok. So there is no way to send spam to the Junk Mail folder?

Short of having outlook / exchange filter and you sync the device with the junk mail folder, I don't know of a way. There are at least a couple pop3 spam filters but that's not outlook and I have no idea what they'd do with junk mail.

Thanks for the information.

Actually, you can do mail filtering on the Pocket PC. (You're also STRONGLY asked to follow my articles - I've elaborated on this very subject in them too......)

You can use either use Pocket SpamFilter (I don't really recommend it, but you may find it OK) or write custom Qmail rules to filter out spam.

Please read the Mailer Bible at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=569&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 for more info on both these things.
