How to Get Free Spam Blocking

I've discovered how to get free spam blocking for email. It requires that you have some IT acumen, like knowing how to access your mail server, and a gmail account:

1. Setup the email account you want to be spam free to forward all mail to your gmail account (Need a gmail account? Ask me for one). Gmail will sort out the spam with its built-in filters.



2. From now on, check your email though gmail. If you want to download it to your desktop, use the POP3 services built into gmail.

With POP3 properly re-configured on your desktop, the transition to gmail will be transparent: instead of your email client (Outlook, Eudora, etc) checking your current spam-ridden host, it will check gmail for spam-free email. Yippee!
