You can tell it to just try and tell spam from non-spam e-mail, or to separate work, family and junk mail, or to automatically filter between a dozen projects that you get email about. text/html 2014-03-24T13:28:22+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.getpopfile.com/docs/quickstart:clients?rev=1395667702&do=diff Quick Start Guide: Setting Up Your Email Program POPFile works as a proxy server. Your email program talks to POPFile, which talks to your email server on its behalf. Instead of your email program getting messages directly, POPFile grabs them first, and scans them to decide what bucket they should go into. text/html 2008-02-08T19:49:20+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.getpopfile.com/docs/quickstart:firewalls?rev=1202500160&do=diff Quick Start Guide: Using POPFile with firewalls POPFile needs to be given full permissions to act as a server for your local machine, and have permission to access the rest of the Internet. You will need to give permissions to popfile*.exe (possibly perl.exe if you are using the Cross Platform version on Windows or wperl.exe with older versions of POPFile), or your Perl parser on other operating systems since POPFile is programmed in the Perl programming language. text/html 2009-09-30T15:00:42+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.getpopfile.com/docs/quickstart:installing?rev=1254322842&do=diff Quick Start Guide: Installing POPFile POPFile comes in two versions - an easy-to-install Windows version, and a cross-platform version for technically-minded users.

You need to configure POPFile to talk to the email scanner. (If your virus scanner didn't change your email POP3 server setting then there is no need to follow these instructions). text/html 2008-09-03T15:33:18+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.getpopfile.com/docs/quickstart:spa?rev=1220455998&do=diff Quick Start Guide: Using POPFile with Secure Password Authentication Head to the web interface's Security tab, and enter the server name and port of your Secure Password Authentication-protected server.

It doesn't know what spam is, what e-mail is, or what any of the buckets you specified mean. It's going to take a little time to train it. When POPFile Makes A Mistake (...and it will!)
