Version: SpamBully for Outlook Express / Windows Mail 4.1.1.2
"Unstable, and now unnecessary."
Pros: When it works, it does an adequate job
Cons: Integration with Outlook Express is problematical. Hangs a lot, and is too complex.
Summary: Spambully is obsolete now that you can download Windows Live Mail for desktop from live.com, and do it for free. It's the next upgrade from Outlook Express and is a much better product. It has rules, black/white lists, and automatic spam recognition that does a great job. I used Spambully for years and it never performed as tood as Live Mail. Also, the messages are stored in an unencrypted clear text database, improving performance, and makind data recovery easier. Also, each message is in a separate file so storage is more efficient. Also, you can't really buy Spambully. You can only rent it for a year because your license will expire and you'll need to buy another one, a bit cheaper, but still required. Should you stick with an older version you can't upgrade, and the software's bugs will catch up to you eventually. Take a look at Spambully's forum and you'll see lots of problems that persist for a long time. Rather than download this program and pay $30 to keep it, I'd recommend trying Windows Live Mail at mail.live.com.

Sorry about that.
