Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

Hi,

I use Mozilla Thunderbird as my e-mail program.

Can someone advise on how I can get Norton Antispam (NIS 2008) to import addresses into my "allowed list". I really need to do something sensible about all the spam I am getting...

Unfortunately, Thunderbird is not an officially supported email program for Norton Add-On Pack 2008. While it is supported at the protocol level, you won't be able to get any of the toolbars to integrate. I apologize for this inconvenience.

On the other hand. The most wonderfull thing about Thunderbird is the fact that it has a great anti spam module itself

Interesting...

When I upgraded to NIS 2008 I was informed that it was able to support Thunderbird...by a Norton advisor...

That's correct. It really is supported. It will scan your email. But there is no anti spam for it

I apologize; I thought you were referencing the Norton AntiSpam functionality within the Norton Add-On Pack 2008, and not the email scanning fuctionality within Norton Internet Security 2008.

No need to apologise...

It is the AntiSpam portion of NIS2008 where the allowed and blocked listings are maintained. The allowed list can import from Outlook  Address book and ONLY from this; so yes I was referring to the AntiSpam part of NIS2008...

As you have already made clear, it does not allow the 'link' with Thunderbird - the obvious next question is why not?,

and don't you think it should...otherwise that is discrimination against other browsers....
