Free Anti Spam Software

I apologise in advance if my question is not worded correctly or if the terms I have used are not technically correct.

I receive all my emails through Yahoo mail but I am getting an increasing number of spam emails. Today, I purchased the MailWasher Pro software to help filter out the spam but it seems to want to link up with Outlook Express which I have never used because I could not get it set up. I cannot get MailWasher to associate with Yahoo mail.

1) Do I really need to have Outlook Express if I have Yahoo Mail?

2) If it isn’t essential , how do I remove it from the computer. It is not in Add/Remove and there is no ‘uninstall’ tool attached to it?

3) How do I get MailWasher to filter the emails via Yahoo mail?

Any help at all would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

The flap of a pigeon’s wing, the trot of a horse’s hoof, the taste of glue, a click of a mouse. The ways of communication have changed over time due to technology. Over hundreds of years, postal mail, has repeatedly adapted to try to meet the needs of the people. However its ability to improve speed has not been able to keep up with technology. In its earlier days postal mail was the fastest and most reliable way of communicating. We now refer to the US postal service as snail mail with time constraints that do not coincide with our fast pace lifestyles today. Because of this, email has become the competition for the traditional postal mail. With its popular click of a button delivery, email has sustained its place in the modern communication world. Although email is becoming more and more popular and provides the same ability to communicate as postal mail, I believe the differences are also significant enough to guarantee the survival of both methods.
The first thing that comes to mind when comparing email to postal mail is speed. Postal mail offers three main ways to send mail; parcel post, which takes anywhere from two to nine days for delivery, priority mail, which has an estimated arrival date from two to three days and the fastest of the three express mail which arrives at the designation overnight. Even though postal mail offers a variety of way to send a letter, it is no competition for email which can deliver a letter in seconds. Letters can reach there designation with literally the click of a mouse.
The convenience of email is immense, but is accessibility is limited. Email offers its speedy services to those who have access to the internet and unfortunately, that does not include the entire population. In fact, there are many households that are considered to be living in the “dark-ages”, without a computers and there are also many that even with the resources of a computer available to them, they wouldn’t know how to operate it. . However, good old postal mail service is very easily accessible to everyone. Unlike email, postal mail requires no return address, so even the people with out a current residence can use the services. All someone needs is a mailbox and thirty four cents and they have access to communication.
Email and postal mail serve many similar needs. They are both capable of sending letters, cards, pictures and even videos from one point to another. Nevertheless email is lacking something that postal mail is not, the ability to send packages. Toys, books, clothes and even a car, postal mail has given people the capability of sending practically anything from on point to another for generations.
Reliability becomes another concern when it comes to communication. Though the postal service offers delivery confirmation, it does not one hundred percent guarantee that you letter with arrive to the correct designation. Like postal mail, email cannot give you the assurance of delivery. Letters get lost and computers crash, neither of the way of communication can be a sure thing.
Sorting through junk mail can be a challenge, whether is it in your mail box or you inbox. Those that receive junk mail in the mailbox have to physically sort through each piece to try and distinguish which pieces are junk mail and which are not. Fortunately, those with email do not have to perform this sometime tedious task. Your email provider does it for you. Email offers junk mail, or spam, filters, which can automatically sort out unwanted emails. Spam filters are another luxury that email can provide, and “snail mail” is lacking.
Speed, accessibility, reliability, volume and convenience are all things that should be considered when deciding how to communicate. Though mail and email both have the same means to an end, they differ just enough to create a need for the continued use of both methods.
LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE ADDED.
