From the above you can probably surmise that I had a lot of fun. I certainly did. It was very pleasing to watch all that spam detected and put where I could easily dump it out of my PC.

Well, I have to tell you it was not half the fun I had when moving to the Outlook (Microsoft Office 2000/2002/XP) version. Instead of rules, threshold level setting, and Enemies List; the Outlook filter uses "internal probability engine based on the Spam Definition Library in addition to the settings you have selected for threshold and blocked character sets as well as your Enemies list" to determine if a message is Spam.

Installing the Outlook filter setup is basically the same as the Outlook Express version. You run the same startup screen, pick the Outlook version, and follow the steps.

</center>
After installing the software you will begin by starting Outlook where you will select the threshold setting, add Friends, blocked character sets, etc. These settings and choices are much more detailed than in the Outlook Express version, giving you a wider range of control.

Once into the program you will notice the HateSpam toolbar is not part of the regular toolbar as in the Outlook Express version. There is only a iHateSpam addition to the regular toolbar.
<center>
</center>
Expanding the Inbox from the Folder List (you may have to turn this on by looking under the View toolbar entry) you will see sub-folders. This is where you will check mail that has been determined as Spam by the iHateSpam filter.

</center>
Once I found I was comfortable with my setting, and began to get annoyed with all those OK buttons, I just right clicked on iHateSpam in the toolbar, selected Options, clicked on the Others tab, and setup some of my options for quicker Spam killing.

<B>Conclusion :</B>
There is a notable difference between the way the editions filter the messages. If you use the Outlook Express version the messages are sorted between the Inbox and Deleted Items Folders as they are downloaded. Under the Outlook edition all the messages momentarityly appear in the Inbox and then are sorted and moved to the different folders according to the probability engine.
Well, there it is. Two great programs for an absolutely, tremendously low price. So point your browser over to the <a href="http://www.sunbelt-software.com/product.cfm?id=930">iHateSpam</a> web site; read more about this program, download which version you need (after filling out an online registration form, see clip below), and begin your odyssey into deleting all that Spam.
