through mail rules
 
Kamal,

I seem to have put a stop to the downloading of most of them by setting up an email rule to delete,from the server,any email over 100KB in size.

When you've set up the rule click on it,to highlight it,then click on MOVE UP repeatedly to move it to the top of your list of rules.

Of course this rule will be of no use to you if you normally receive emails of this sort of size that you actually do want.

To set up the rule I did this.

I clicked on TOOLS/MESSAGE RULES/MAIL/NEW.

Then I clicked on the box,in Section 1,next to WHERE THE MESSAGE SIZE IS MORE THAN SIZE to select it.

Then I clicked on the underlined SIZE and typed in 100 and clicked OK.

Then I moved to Section 2 and clicked the box next to DELETE IT FROM THE SERVER,to select that option.

Then I clicked OK then OK,on the next page,to create the rule.

Then I clicked on that rule,to highlight it,then kept on clicking on MOVE UP until that rule was at the top of all my MESSAGE RULES.

Then I clicked on OK again and that was it all done.

invest in a good spam blocker and that should take care of ALL of them...

I use SPAM Inspector....they have a 15 day trial version you can use to
check out how good it is....

It has a learning feature which improves it's ability to catch spam over
time...and the good thing...it will catch and get rid of all of those virus
containing so called microsoft update and patch emails....I get about 200 or
so a day and it blocks them all...

hope that helps....here is the URL...
