Just categorically saying they are unnecessary is a bit extreme. >Just use your web browser to log into your pop account using webmail. >Look at what's there and delete everything that you don't want. (I hit >"select all" then individually uncheck the ones I want, then hit the >delete button on the page.) Some people may not have webmail access. Some may not want to complicate the process by adding another step. Some need to deal with the 200 or so 'real' messages they do need, and to manually uncheck or check them would be very time consuming. > >After doing that, log into your mail account with PowerMail and download >what's left. > >This leaves spam, viruses, etc. behind and you only get what you want. >It takes an extra 1-2 minutes for me to do this, and I usually have about >90 messages, 4-5 of which I keep. I have anywhere from 70-150 messages that I need to keep. I do get spam, and without something like SpamSieve, my workflow would be severely hampered by manual editing of the inbox. To each his own solution. I'm happy that you don't need a spam blocker software.
