Compare your email clients

Wikipedia users have compiled a comparative list of features of many email programs: see wikipedia for a full list. This list is particularly important for choosing an email client based on spam filtering and spam protection services. It also provides a list of which clients are free.

If you want to see whether your email client supports in-client spam protection, or whether it supports server-side spam filtering (such as an Exchange spam filter), this is an ideal list to use. Some clients have their own in-built spam filters, while others plug into SpamAssassin or other spam blockers. Some also offer phishing filtering.

Also extremely important is how each client deals with HTML email. HTML can be used in emails to include images or special links that spammers use to deceive users, or to breach spam blocking software. Each client may deal with HTML in a different way, so it’s worth looking int exactly how they render HTML email messages.

Of course, while plenty of email clients have their own protection, many users still use spam list technology to guarantee a greater incidence of blocking spam from reaching their inboxes. Still, with numerous freeware packages on the market, as well as professional solutions, it’s worth researching your choice of client.
