I never used to have an email spam problem but I always had Norton Antispam installed just because it came with the other Norton tools. Everyday I mark about 20 emails as spam using Norton and everyday it seems I get the same spam again. So I wonder if it actually does anything.

Thunderbird, Firefox’s email girlfriend, is supposed to be very good at blocking spam straight out of the box but I have had many problems trying to configure it in the past. It won’t connect to any of my various mail servers.

Does anyone know of any free and effective spam blocking tools I can plug-into Outlook? Or even a completely new email client you know to be good?
