POPmonitor 2.1 (MacOS X)

What is POPmonitor?
Wouldn't it be great if you could delete unwanted e-mail or spam before it reaches your e-mail application? Or delete messages with large attachments without downloading them to your computer first? Or get rid of viruses sent by PC users?

Well, POPmonitor lets you do just that!

With POPmonitor you can take a peek inside your mailbox and delete unwanted e-mail or spam without the need to download those messages first. Just login, select the unwanted messages and click the Delete button. It's as simple as that.

You can also automate the removal of unwanted messages by creating lists of trusted and blocked senders and by creating custom filters based on several criteria. Another option is to bounce messages right back to their sender to simulate a non-existing e-mail address.

Other e-mail applications only filter spam after downloading it first. But thanks to POPmonitor you can get rid of annoying spam and other unwanted e-mail before it even reaches your e-mail application.

From now on you will be in control of your mailbox again!
