As mass marketers continue to ramp up their "junk email" capabilities, it's not uncommon to spend half of your email downloading time waiting for messages you don't even want to receive!
While there are many ways to minimize the great inconveniences caused by junk email, one of the latest is a simple new program: Email Remover.
I've been using this tool for a few months now, and what it does is so brilliant, I just wish I'd thought of it first!
First, visit eremover.bizhosting.com to download the software. Then install the program and give it your existing
email account information.
Once you've done that, you can now use Email Remover to check your email and delete the junk before downloading it to your computer!
How it works is simple:
You start Email Remover before checking your email and it goes
to the Internet and checks your account.
Email Remover retrieves just the "headers" of waiting messages
and lets you select those you wish to delete
After removing the junk mail, Email Remover then will start your regular email program (Eudora, in my case) for you and allow it to download just the messages you really wanted in the first place!
The key to understanding how effective this process is lies in the simple fact that retrieving the message "headers" equates to simply looking at the outside of envelopes and then throwing away the junk, (as you do with real junk mail) without bothering to open and read each one first.
It's fast, easy and free!
