POPFile filters mail in an extremely flexible and versatile manner. There are Extra Spam Filter for Webmails with Free POPFile that can accurately classify and filter spam using the Bayesian statistics. POPFile works seamlessly as POP and NNTP proxy and can be controlled via a web interface. So, if you want excellent Bayesian spam filtering or general content-based classification abilities, especially for non-Windows systems or other POP3 clients, then POPFile is what you need!

POPFile is a general purpose automatic email classification and spam filtering tool and works transparently as a POP proxy between your email client and the mail server. The software can also be used with IMAP accounts, as an incoming SMTP filter or for NNTP news.

A good thing about the software is that it can be trained with existing mail and learns with every incoming message.It features an easy to use and remotely accessible web interface which is used for POPFile setup and training. The POPFile “Magnets” make certain mail fall under a specified category no matter what thus helping in easy sorting. The software ignores certain HTML code and user-defined words, and uses the pseudo-words to save the meta information. The software can automatically configure Outlook and Outlook Express to work with it which is no doubt great!

After the first install, the program looks dumb, and also does not perform any classification at all. But with time it is designed to learn from your personal classifications, and thus becomes more and more hands-off the longer you use it which is amazing!

It keeps a history of all email messages that pass through the system and then allows you to classify each message as good, spam or any other criteria (personal, work, important etc.). These criteria are called “Buckets” and they are similar to virtual mail folders. The mail in each bucket will be tagged in a special way (subject, header), so you can instruct your email program to process it according to your own preferences.

Overall it can be said, that POPfile is amazingly flexible, and powerful in areas such as filtering. You can easily Control Webmail Spam &Classify Webmails with Free POPFile Software. On the other hand though, the software does require at least some basic understanding of email concepts and POP accounts on the part of the user, in order to use it effectively and get the most out of it.
