Support for POP3 Email Accounts

Webmail is a popular method of emailing and it is common to have many spam messages sent to webmail accounts. Many of these webmail programs can be accessed using POP3 and Exchange account configurations. ParetoLogic Spam Controls does not support IMAP account configuration, however, it does support POP3 and Exchange accounts using Windows Mail, Outlook, or Outlook Express. Once completing the process you can have Spam Controls filter out the unwanted spam.

Web-based email, or Webmail, is email received by web programs that are provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or online vendor. It enables you to view, send, and receive email using only your Internet browser. Webmail is useful when you are at a remote location as it requires only an Internet browser and online access and the email messages stay on the ISP server rather than being downloaded to the local computer.

Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3), is a protocol that is used to retrieve email from a server. Email programs use POP3 to retrieve and send email. POP3 can be used with or without Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), a protocol involved in the sending of email.

By configuring your email client (Windows Mail, Outlook, or Outlook Express), you can receive webmail that supports POP3 (such as GMail or Yahoo! Mail). To configure your email application you will have to create a new email account using the Tools menu and select POP3 as the type of server your new email account will work with. Refer to the specifications of your webmail account or your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to see about POP3 support and to access the required settings.
