Stop spams (Outlook Express):
If you are are using an IMAP4 server, you will not need to setup a filter/message rule on your email program,
as SpamKiller moves any spam tagged messages automatically into a folder called SpamKiller.
If you are are using a POP3 server and want your email program to automatically filter the SpamKiller-marked messages into a separate folder, so that you can more easily review them, continue as follows:
1. Click Tools--> Message Rules, and select Mail; this will bring up a list of all of the filters (or as Outlook Express calls them, rules) that are current set up.
2. Click New to create a new one.
3. Select to filter "Where the Subject line contains specific words" and an action "Move it to the specified folder" and "Stop processing more rules".
4. Now click the blue "contains specified words" in the box at the bottom; type [SPAM] into the field at the top of the window that appears, and click "Add" to add it to the list. Click OK, then click the blue "specified folder" and click New Folder to create a new folder called SpamKiller1.
5. Under section "4. Name of the rule: " , type SpamKiller1.
Your rule description should now be:
Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the Subject line contains '[SPAM]'
Move it to the SpamKiller1 folder
And Stop processing more rules
NOTE 1: Check Mail Rules tab
Make sure your new rule for SpamKiller is first in the list, if you have a lot of other message rules you use and als make your SpamPal rule end with And Stop processing more rules
NOTE 2: Blocked Senders tab
If you have a lot of blocked senders then it is worth Removing them from the list, as SpamKiller will do a much better job of coping with Spam and removing the blocked senders will also speed up the processing of email.

Large attachments:
Email is not intended for exchange of files. Large messages can cause various problems:
i) make mailboxes too large to handle
ii) block mail reading during transfer
iii) fill disk space
Therefore a maximum message size of 10 MB has been set by default in webmails (Yahoo, gmail, etc) and email clients (Outlook, Outlook Express, etc). That is why when we try to send attachments of more than 10 MB, we will generally receive error messages, as server will not be able to tranfer the file size properly.
Files should be exchanged by protocols intended for file exchange like FTP.

Cannot receive emails (Outlook Express):
1. On the Outlook Express Tools menu, click Accounts.
2. Click the Mail tab, and then double-click your e-mail account.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Check the box labeled "Leave a copy of messages on server." Doing this activates two clean-up options:
• If desired, check the box to "Remove from server after 5 days." You may change this to any number between 1 and 100.
• If desired, check the box to "Remove from server when deleted from ‘Deleted Items.'"
Be careful using this option! Most ISPs limit the size of your POP3 mailbox. Saving messages on the server can cause your mailbox to become full very quickly, and so you might not receive important messages until you delete the server copies.
