Download Spamihilator 0.9.9.52 – 2.00MB (Freeware)

Spamihilator 0.9.9.52 Information

Spamihilator works between your E-Mail client and the Internet and examines every incoming E-Mail. Useless spam mails (Junk) will be filtered out. This process runs completely in the background.

The Learning Filter (Bayesian Filter) uses the rules of Thomas Bayes (English mathematician, 18th century) and calculates a certain Spam-Probability for every E-Mail. You can train this filter! So it will know your messages even better than you. Hence the recognition rate will continuously increase.

The program works with almost every E-Mail client, such as Outlook 2000/XP/2003/Express, Eudora, Mozilla Thunderbird, IncrediMail, Pegasus Mail, Phoenix Mail, Opera, etc… It supports POP and IMAP accounts, as well as secure connections.

Spam Recognition Filters:

* The Learning Filter recognizes more than 98% of all incoming spam mails. Use the Training Area, to increase the recognition rate continuously.
* You can also specify certain words, that often appear in spam mails. The Spam-Word-Filter will look for these words.
* The Link Filter searches incoming messages for links to spam websites.
* The DCC-Filter connects with the DCC Network to recognize unsolicited bulk mail.

Download Eudora 8.0.0 Beta 7 – 9.10MB (Freeware)

Eudora 8.0.0 Beta 7 Information
Eudora is the best email program for people who get lots of email. If you’re not one of those people now, you will be soon. So, take control of your email before it takes control of you. Eudora is more than a way to send and receive messages – it’s a powerful email management tool with features to increase your productivity and enhance your communications.

ScamWatch combats “phishing” schemes that use disguised URL’s to gather personal information. Eudora now detects if the URL in the link differs suspiciously from the host name and warns you to exercise caution before making the connection.

Version 8 of is now open source and based on Thunderbird. The Penelope project’s intention is to join the Eudora® user experience with the Mozilla platform. We intend to produce a version of Eudora that is open source and based on Mozilla and Thunderbird. It’s *not* our intention to compete with Thunderbird; rather, we want to complement it.

We are committed to both preserving the Eudora user experience and to maintaining maximum compatibility, for both developers and users, with Thunderbird. It is our goal to build a single development community around Thunderbird and Eudora, so that both mailers advance faster than they previously have.

Eudora 8.0.0 Beta 7 Change Log
Eudora GENERAL NEW FEATURES
——————–

- Search Messages now uses the fast index if turned on in the preferences,
Advanced->General->Enable Global Search and Indexer. The checkbox
“Use indexed search” in the Search Messages can be used to turn this on/off.

- Eudora now automatically checks if new versions are available. A manual
check can be done by going to the Help menu and selecting Check for Updates.

Eudora MAILBOX WINDOW
————–

- Select newly inserted messages (FUMLUB) feature now selects end message if
there is no last unread block.

- Fixed bug where mailbox columns get set to the default every time a window is
opened. Now it just happens once on a per-mailbox basis.

- Thread column now shown by default for news windows.

- Added UI in the Penelope prefs panel to expose the setting that controls hiding
the tab if the there is only one in a mailbox window.

- No longer auto-opening Trash and Junk mailboxes when new messages arrive
in them.

- Restored functionality of In and Out toolbar buttons.

- Ctrl+0 is mapped to Reset Zoom in Thunderbird, and that conflicts with the
hotkey for open the Out mailbox in Penelope. So go rid of Thunderbird’s key so
that Penelope’s can function.

- Removed the Open messages in tabs preference because Thunderbird now has
a setting that controls that in Advanced->Reading & Display->Open messages in.

- The Backspace key now deletes a message in a mailbox window for Windows and
Linux (Mac Thunderbird already has this feature).

Eudora SESSION SAVE/RESTORE
——————–

- Fix for bug where the saved window list get restored during non-startup times.

the Pref window was opened.

saved/restored across sessions.

displaying the correct icon.

- Junk score and attachment conditions now used in auto-naming filters.

Eudora IMPORTING
———

- Fixed problem where trying to find one-off imported folders for doing filter importing
and the name had changed from “Eudora Mail” to “Eudora Import”.

Eudora MISCELLANEOUS
————-

- Renamed the thunderbird-branding.js file to all-eudora.js so that it takes precedence
over (i.e. is alphabetically before) the all-thunderbird.js pref file.

- Mail Start page wasn’t showing up on Windows due to missing files in installer.

- Fixed up the URL portion of the SelectedTextURL entry for the Thesaurus.
