Winmail and Thunderbird Antispam

Norton Security | Norton Internet Security

NIS 2010 best yet, but too many changes with little documentation on what works...

 

1.  Does NIS 2010 support Windows Mail.  As in providing a spam/not spam buttom.  If not, does someone know how to add this feature.

 

 Windows Mail doesn't show any spam features at all.  although you can still label it as junk mail.  But NIS is not tracking any messages in   Winmail. 

 

 

2.  Does NIS support Google's Thunderbird.   I'm told NIS doesn't support Google search engines.  That doesn't make sense.

 

All other Internet Security apps (Trend, Kasper, ZoneAlarm) support Anti-Spam for Thunderbird, Winmail & Outlook, or gives you the option to add it.

 

Again,  does NIS 2010 support Winmail and Thunderbird...and how do I add it...

 

 

Too Symantec Rep...suggest adding a feature similar to Windows 7... here's what's new (which you have) and here's what's not supported any more.

 

 

 Thanks

Thunderbird has its own very efficient and customizable antispam.  I turn off the antispam feature in my Norton and let T-bird do its own thing.  The email scanning itself is very compatible with Thunderbird.

 

Google is my home page and works excellently with Norton.

Hi 7of9

 

For your questions:

 

1. NIS provides only partial support for Windows Mail. No tool bar integration & No reclassification as well (Spam/Not Spam)

When you open Antispam->Client Integration UI : Email Client Windows Mail option will be checked by default in Vista. Spam Emails will be moved to Junk Folder

So you need not to do anything to add it

 

2. No support for Thunderbird this time too. But still you can follow the steps given by Yogesh to filter Spam Emails

 Its a good suggestion to take it up

 

Hope this info helps you

Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail are different apps from each other.  How much support are there for Win Live Mail?
