Well, a lot of ISPs provide free spam filtering nowadays that keeps at 
least a lot of the most obvious crud out. I.e. they use black lists of 
the best known spammers.

But i'm still curious. Why would you want to switch back and forth 
between different email programs? Isn't that a pain with some email 
being only in one program and some only in the other? Even if you know 
what to do to get all incoming mail into both, at least your sent mail 
is never the same in both.

I mean, i can understand why some people want to stick with OE despite 
its security problems because they don't want to learn how to use a new 
program. However, TB is so much like OE that one hardly notices the 
difference in basic emailing, and there are so many cool features 
besides spam filtering in TB that are missing in OE that it seems that 
few switch back that have used TB for a few days. So if you like TB, why 
keep on using OE?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
