Spam Free Outlook

I wanted to let you guys know about this great new free tool I found. It is called Spam Free Outlook and it is distributed by CodeOde.

It’s still in beta so there’s a chance you’ll run into some bugs, but I haven’t. What I have found, though, is that this is the best SPAM filter I have ever used! It integrates itself in your menu bar (if you want it to) and “learns” more about what you want and what you don’t by whether you “tell it” that an email is Legitimate or SPAM.

In the less than 24 hours I have had it installed I have noticed a huge reduction in my SPAM. I was trying to use all of these different Outlook rules to get rid of crap emails and it just wasn’t working. Spam Free Outlook is definitely working.

Most internet marketing/blogger types sign up for a lot of lists and, in doing so, spread their emails about for others to snag and SPAM. I was missing good mails because I spent half my day deleting emails about credit reports and effing Pedi-Paws.

Anyway, if you don’t already have a way to kill SPAM, I highly recommend you check out Spam Free Outlook. In less than a day I already feel saner (is that word?) and more productive!

P.S. It’s 100% free, no adware included and the links here are not affiliate links. I just think this is a killer product.

  • Very helpful tool for spam free outlook. I'll download it. Thanks.
  • Tired of spam mails too. I will try it. Thank for your research.
  • Hi,
    It is still in beta so there’s a chance you’ll run into some bugs, but I haven’t. What I have found, though, is that this is the best SPAM filter I have ever used! It integrates itself in your menu bar and “learns” more about what you want and what you don’t by whether you “tell it” that an email is Legitimate or SPAM. Thanks for the nice post.
  • I'm tired of spamming mails too

    Let's see how Spam Free Outlook work for me.

    Thanks for the link :)
  • Have you used gmail? It's a lower tech solution ... but a better one. In the interest of full disclosure, though, I'm not sure why anybody uses Outlook? I use it, at work, because I'm forced to, and have to admit the calendar integration is pretty nice. Gmail has the same feature, but when an entire office coalesces around a particular system ... it's hard to change that.

    Anyway, gmail has the best spam filter I've ever seen. I've been using it for close to five years, and have only ever seen one false positive ( legitimate email flagged as spam ), out of countless thousands. This includes email from random members of the public, as one of the comments above me is worried about.

    It's also much faster than Outlook running on the desktop.

  • I just use webmail like Yahoo and Google. Both have great spam filters and my yahoo address is over 10 years old and does get tons of spam. It just goes neatly into the spam box which i do quickly scan to make sure nothing vital is in there. When I verify everything I want is on the server and no spam, then I use Outlook and download it all to my archive about once a month.
  • sorry for being off topic, i just had this sudden urge to eat spam, i could not remember when i last had that for breakfast! mmmm spam... and eggs....
  • wow very nice find!
  • interesting. i can imagine that dealing with spam using rules must have been quite messy. :O product sounds really promising though. will give it a look. thanks for the heads up. :)

  • In a weird way, I like the spam. I win 30 million euro in the morning, get offers of free viagra all morning and cheap mortgages in the evening. I don't need a clock, just those emails to tell me what time it is :)
  • I had spam for lunch this today. It reminds me of the olden days and still has that great taste that I loved so much. Thank you for the code info!

  • I've used a few SPAM filters, and without fail they end up taking quite a few legitimate mails with them.

    Because of the nature of business I'm in (selling Real Estate in Myrtle Beach), I need to be able to accept random emails from people I've never met.

    I advertise all over the internet, so when someone clicks through to contact me, I need to know that it's not going to end up in an overzealous spam filter.

    I'll try out Spam Free Outlook on one of my personal addresses, but for now, I'm sticking to the "take it all" approach on my business email.

    My address is the catch-all account for the domain too, just in case someone misspells it. Yes, I'm a glutton for Spam punishment.
  • This is the first time that I have heard of it. Thanks for sharing.

    I'm going to give them a shot.

  • That is kinda cool! thanks for the great share.
  • If we have new tools to handle spam, spammers always have new techniques to spam. I think this war will be continuing till end of the world and internet. I am wondering to think that who will be the winner?

    Excellent work - I have been using spamfighter which does a pretty good job though after the trial period all your emails have got the spamfighter information at the bottom of the email which makes it a bit naff.

    I'll give this one a whirl
  • Thanks for the tip, this sounds like a great tool.

  • Spam is a major problem for E-mail users, so thank you for sharing this tool.

    I use spam assassin on the server and The Bat! for an E-mail client. Spam Assassin takes care of most of the spam, but not all of it. With the malicious code being distributed by E-mail Spam, we must protect ourselves any way possible.
  • Occasionally I look here by and read the interesting and well written contributions. Today I would like to leave gladly a greeting from Thuringia in Germany!
  • Gmail is spam free. I find it by far the best spam filter I have ever used.
