Spam filter removing attachments

Spam filter removing attachments

Didn't find your answer?

As I was becoming rather tired of receiving tedious offers, on a daily basis, to view unclad females, extend parts of my anatomy and swallow pills I decided shortly before Xmas to set the Spam Filter setting to the email that comes to me via UK Online and Outlook Express. Although this has had the desired result of removing the tedious mail a side effect appears to be that attachments that I want to receive (including client tax returns!) are often removed from emails that are sent to me. Even more mysteriously attachments that were sent to me before the SpamFilter was set, and which are now stored in document folders on my hard drive are also removed! Is there any way of viewing the deleted spam and preventing the removal of what OE decides are offensive attachments. If not can anyone suggest alternative filters that are not quite as aggresive, or allow you to reinstate attachments that are deemed unsuitable by the filter?

MailWasher
Virgin recommended Mailwasher to me. I have been using it for 10 days on a free 30-day trial and can't fault it. And, importantly, it is extremely easy to set up and use, as well as being surprisingly flexible. I had tried MailBox Filter but it was so complicated that I gave up.
