Spam Shredder 1.9 Online Manual

Adding Accounts to Spam Shredder

If you are using an e-mail client other than Outlook, Outlook Express, or Eudora, you need to add each e-mail account that you want Spam Shredder to protect. You need the following information about each account:

Account Name—This lets you identify this account if you have multiple e-mail accounts.
Display Name—This is the way your name displays when you send a message to someone. You may want to set this up to be the same as in your e-client.
E-mail Address—This is the e-mail address for this account in the format: login_name@domain_name. For example, tom@webroot.com.
POP3 Server—This is the POP3 server that handles your incoming mail in the format: mail.domain_name. (Required)
POP3 Port—This is the port that you connect to on the server for incoming mail. It is normally 110 for POP3 servers. (Required)

Your system administrator can help you with this information. To find the information yourself, you can look at the account setup in your e-mail client. Where to find the information varies. For example, in Mozilla 1.6 select Edit > Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings and click Server Settings.

To add an account in Spam Shredder:

Start Spam Shredder, if it is not already running, and display the main window.
For more information, see Starting Spam Shredder.
In the icon panel, click E-mail Accounts.

The Edit Account window displays.
Double-click in each field (to overwrite the existing text) and enter your information.
The POP3 Port field is usually 110 (the default).
Click OK.
Spam Shredder lists the account in the Accounts panel and enables spam protection.
Leave Spam Shredder open and continue with Editing E-mail Client Accounts to Work with Spam Shredder.
