The steps below will help you locate your email settings in your email program and then help you make the changes.

Step One: Locate your email settings

Select your email program from the drop-down menu. Open your email program (eg. Outlook Express) and then follow the step-by-step instructions to find your email settings.

Step Three: Make changes to your email settings

  • In the Account Name field add an @ symbol eg. john.smith becomes john.smith@
  • Then cut & paste your current Incoming mail server (POP3) setting and add it after the @ symbol in your Account Name eg: john.smith@pop.ozemail.com.au

What our customers say!
As both a small business and home user, I was interested to try out SpamTrap on an unnetworked PC. I'm finding SpamTrap to be the first anti-spam process that actually works for me. Straight off the bat, it trapped about 75% of my spam and I expect that this will improve as time goes by. It's yet to trap anything that it shouldn't have.
