For most of our staff we offer Web access to their email accounts (we
have our own server). It's the most easily portable way for them to
access their library email in our "musical chairs" work world and from
home (or when on the road). Others use an email client, Mozilla
Thunderbird being our preference. Spam is a ubiquitous problem and
there is no perfect solution of which I am aware: many spammers have
figured most of the angles. And while email servers are pretty good at
filtering it out, and Thunderbird has a decent filter built in, some
spam still gets through and likely always will {sigh}. If only we
could charge spammers for every use of our email systems!<br>

other library’s are
using and might recommend for e-mail programs. We currently use the
basic
IE Outlook Express and Outlook but are having a lot of issues with
SPAM.
Do you have a third party software program that works great on
filtering?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
