Launch, Disable, and Restore

Getting familiar with ParetoLogic Spam Controls includes learning about opening the Main window, toolbar integration, and exiting or disabling the program. Windows Mail, Outlook, and Outlook Express handle plug-in applications differently and, as a result, there are differences in how you can disable Spam Controls from the email application of your choice.

Launching

After installing the application the Spam Controls toolbar is added to the toolbar section of your email application. When you open your email application the toolbar appears as well. By using the ParetoLogic Spam Controls icon located in the system tray you can launch Windows Mail, Outlook, or Outlook Express.

The system tray is the area in the taskbar that is next to the clock - typically this is located at the bottom of the monitor. The system tray contains icons to applications for easy access. You can double-click or right-click the icons to activate the associated application or to display a list of menu options.

To launch your email application from the system tray:

1. Right-click the ParetoLogic Spam Controls icon located in the system tray.

Note: If these option are disabled you will need to select the corresponding check boxes in the Options page in the Email Application Integration section. See the Options page for more information.

You can also open the Main window from the system tray.
