I have installed it and it was very easy to install. But I have couple of questions. Do I need to have Outlook Express opened all the time on my taskbar for POPfile to work? Also, I have the option on for POPFile to run in the background. Is this correct? One other question (smile), please. Do I need to make up folders within OE that reflects my buckets? Thanks.

I'm going to reply to my own message. I found a forum for POPFile and obtained my answers there. However, I unstalled it because it takes up a lot of memory. I have 256 mb ram, Win XP but I am also running the modem-on-hold, Norton and Zone Alarm. So if I add OE and POPFile, wow, my memory goes way down.

Memory used doesn't matter.
XP handles it - physical memory isn't required - uses a number of techniques including paging that lets you use way more memory that is actually installed.
256mb is plenty.

Aloha! Richard.

Thanks Richard for the tip. Do you have POPFile "running in the background" all the time with Outlook Express opened, as well? Thanks.

Well, I don't use Outlook Express for e-mail, but if I did, it would be running all the time;
Before I started using Outclass, I was running POPFile at system startup in the background....

Aloha! Richard.

Thanks Richard. When you had OE, was the "spam" bucket the only one you had quarantined checked or were all your buckets checked quarentined?

Sorry - not sure I understand the question.

Aloha! Richard.
