PJ:confused: Not too sure if Poptray works with Xtra now, (If youre with Xtra), but all you have to do is go to: Accounts, put your username/pw in. Options / interval is where u put in the secs (Poptray will check for email whatever u put here). Options / general options, tick the 2nd and 3rd option. Options / user interface. Change the first option to whatever u want. Options / whitelist/blacklist. Add ppl you know to the white. Spammers / domains in the blacklist. Thats it. Mail tab. If its a spam email, right mouse / lists / add to blacklist / someone you know to the whitelist. If u want rules, put these in. 1. Suspected spam, all accounts, any row, header contains [SUSPECTED SPAM] 2. Spam same as above, but header contains [SPAM] Tick delete from server, and click on save. Help is there u right mouse on the icon in the taskbar.	Speedy Gonzales (78)

I've been looking at Kinect - Trust Power but as I've said in another thread I can't get onto their site this evening which isn't encouraging.	B.M. (505)

Please don't preach to me about Privacy. MY privacy is being invaded. Why not theirs? PJ :mad: Almost all is sent from overseas, from dodgy places such in in china and russia so ther is no control over it. My spam has recently got a lot worse, and I don't use xtra. I would also setup spam protection with xtra, as it does work better than nothing, and essentially contining to use their services, means you are agreeing to their T&Cs anyway.	rogerp (6864)

You want the one where someone asked why your webpage was not available and about your services.	beeswax34 (63)

Bouncing via Mailwasher though is fruitless considering that nearly all of the spam has forged return paths including in cases your own address so you just bounce to yourself.	PinoyKiw (9675)
