RE: [PCTECH] Recommendations for Anti Spam software for PC

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm feeling stupid today - am using Eudora. Just installed SpamBayes and 
can't seem to get it working. I also have MailWasher but it was not running.

Anyway, the config asks for the email server URL, as well as a "port". It 
recommends 110, which I tried. When I check mail with Eudora, the password 
prompt appears. If I put in my password, it fails. I tried changeing the 
setting for POP server to loclahost:110 - anyone know what am I missing?
