co2shaun Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 What email client are you guys using? I use gmail but my parents have an email account that you have to use a client with. The account gets a large amount of spam. Right now I have thunderbird set up but i'm looking for ideas on the email spam. Needs to be able to run on a windows computer.

Sparda Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Set email account to forward to gmail, use gmail (still allows for use with a client). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co2shaun Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 I've considered that but I would like to try some client based ideas first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Cooper Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 For a GUI Client I would use Thunderbird, where I have the choice. Where people don't have a choice it tends to be Outlook that they have to use. If you are wanting a client you can use from the command line then Mutt and Pine are good established ones.

b0park Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Set email account to forward to gmail, use gmail (still allows for use with a client). Boris has the right idea. If you configure Gmail to retrieve their existing email from whatever provider they have to / want to use (possible through Gmails web setting UI). You'll get the benefits of Gmail filtering, then configure Thunderbird to send-as the original email address and that should make the Gmail layer transparent. At this point Thunderbird will work just fine and you'll get the Spam filtering you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co2shaun Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Ya i'm starting to think that that would be the way to go too. Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
