Clean-BOx email filter - a great concept
smoggedoutMay 22, 2011
Pros
Great filter, creates its whitelist as you go.
Cons
According to the website, the programmer died from a brain tumor, development is halted and the project is for sale
Summary
According to the website, the programmer died from a brain tumor, development is halted and the project is for sale Sofor anyone wanting to use this, it will time out because you can't register. If you re-install your have to re-register. When it times out it won't be usable - HOWEVER you can uninstall it, don't uninstall the settings, just the program. Then re-install it andyou still have its settings. IT is the only freeware spam filter I've found that supports multiple mail addresses. I will continue to use it.
Stay Away!!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This does what it claims to do and is simple enough to install and run. It could use keyshortcuts for deleting items or tagging items as bad or good!

One minor flaw
GarryWaltonDecember 10, 2006
Pros
Allows you to see what is being rejected before it gets nuked.
Cons
Here's the glitch. It doesn't hold the suspect mail while you wait for the return of the code.If I want to send a code to the sender, then go off and read my mail, I have two choices (a)allow the suspect mail in or (b)reject it and reply to the sender first, asking them to resend it with the code.
Summary
Nice but could be better.

Pros
Nice catches all of the spam and sends it back.
Cons
Some of the spam it sends back have illegitmate email addresses and bounces back to you.
Summary
Didn't like it!

Pros
Cons
Worked for about 5 minutes and then it would shut down and I was not able to install again.
Summary
Very effective, free protection
h.bertJuly 1, 2005
Pros
I'm currently using Outlook 2003, but my former mail client was Outlook Express. I've used Clean-Box with both. Since I installed this smart tool I get almost no spam into my inbox. However I can see a lot of spam in the Clean-Box spam list. An important benefit: I can see what is spam before I collect any email from the server. A very useful feature is that I can allow addresses directly from the spam list and hence never loose a mail. Easy setup, good for inexperienced users like me.
Cons
Not any, so far.
Summary
Great program, attacks spam in a better way than most others.

Easy to use <p>You wont get any spam, NONE! <p>Gives you control over your inbox

Summary
Very satisfied!
CajsaJuly 1, 2005
Pros
I used to get over 50 spam a day. Now I get nothing and don?t even need to download any junk email. I highly appreciate that no email can be lost. Very satisfied!
Cons
Perhaps the user interface is al little bit simple, but very useful.
