Setting up your Webmail accounts

If you use a browser to read your e-mail messages, you must
configure Anti-Spam to connect to your account and filter your
messages. To add your Webmail account to Anti-Spam, simply
add the account information provided by your e-mail provider.
After you add a Webmail account, you can edit your account
information, and obtain more information about filtered
Webmail. If you are not using a Webmail account any more, or
you do not want it filtered, you can remove it.
Anti-Spam works with various e-mail programs, such as Yahoo!®,
MSN®/Hotmail®, Windows® Mail and Live™ Mail, Microsoft®
Outlook® and Outlook Express, and Mozilla Thunderbird™, as
well as with various e-mail accounts, such as POP3, POP3
Webmail, and MAPI (Microsoft Exchange Server). POP3 is the
most common account type, and is the standard for Internet
e-mail. When you have a POP3 account, Anti-Spam connects
directly to the e-mail server and filters messages before they are
retrieved by your Webmail account. POP3 Webmail, Yahoo!,
MSN/Hotmail, and Windows Mail accounts are Web-based.
Filtering POP3 Webmail accounts is similar to filtering POP3
accounts.
