Roosl's Mail Filter is a Feature Rich POP3 E-mail monitoring and blocking filter / Anti-Spam tool designed for PC users running Windows. It doesn't matter what client you use to download, read or send mail. Hence, Roosl's Mail Filter does not integrate into your client (such as Outlook, or whatever you use). It does not know or care whether or not (or when) your e-mail client is running. This program can be left running in your system tray 24x7 (best if you use 'always on' broadband such as DSL), or you can just start it up to go clean up your mail on the server before you start your mail client.
