If you use email you know how annoying SPAM can be. You can use various SPAM filters integrated to your email client but you'll still receive less or more SPAM. I tried few of them myself including e.g. Spamihilator. It was quite good solution but I was still not able to eliminate all SPAM from my email box.

So what you can do ?

I found my answer in Gmail. As you may know Gmail has one of the best SPAM filters out there integrated. Why do not use it ?
Gmail has cool feature which ables you to download emails from other mailboxes to your Gmail account.
Here is how :

   1. Login to your gmail account.
   2. Click settings in right upper corner
   3. Click Accounts tab
   4. in "Get mail from other accounts" section you can see "Add another mail account" link
   5. go through wizard (enter email and other account information)

Now Gmail will fetch new emails from your boxes via POP3 and will filter them.
This simple trick will eliminate more than 99% of SPAM from your emails... and best of all it's Free.
