DESCRIPTION

The major flaw and immediate cause of most virus / worm email infections is that when message is downloaded by email client - it is already TOO LATE. Malicious code executes before anything can be done to prevent it - so the harm is already done.

Mailbox Guard offers a better way. It lets the user see all incoming mail right on the server, and remove unwanted or suspicious messages right there.

Mailbox Guard makes messages selection very easy. It pre-screens mail and 'ranks' every message according to four-level risk scale, which is presented as a color tags. It can even automatically mark for deletion messages that meet predefined criteria, simplifying process even further.

The core component of MBG is a smart, parsing engine, which is trained to recognize patterns specific to messages which carries dangerous or offending contents. It uses both algorithmic and heuristic methods to determine the risk level.

Mailbox Guard can also work in the background, checking for new mail periodically. When new mail arrives - it not only notifies the user that new mail is waiting, but also provides immediate indication about risk level. The color dot on the envelope act as an instant status indicator. If it is stays gray - no new messages. If turns on color - new messages are waiting and risk is denoted by the color of the dot. If mouse is moved over the icon - it reveals quick status (last-checked time and number of messages).


Version 1.7 features unlimited email account management, background mail check, notification on new mail, user-definable lists, plain-text preview, html-tag filter, remote preview and delete of all emails from multiple accounts (without downloading to PC). Automatic test and report of connection speed. Scan-status database for all accounts. Master view, and account status line. Easy Add / Remove mail senders to Black-list or White-list with one click.

MINI-FAQ V 1.7

1. Q: Is Mailbox Guard effective also against Base64-encoded Spam emails ? (often used in porno advertising messages)

A: Yes it is. It handles all encoding standards, for both text and HTML.

2. Q: What abouy SpyWare ? (protecting your privacy)

A: There is no way for any malicious code carried in email message, including SpyWare, to do any harm, or reveal any information - when it is killed before being downloaded on to your PC (that's what Mailbox Guard is basically about).

3. Q: How do I mark manually message for deletion ?

A: Just click the Envelope icon (leftmost), and it will toggle DELIVER (Envelope) status to DELETE (red cross). If you want to change it back - just click it again.

4. Q: Why only RED (level 3) messages are marked for deletion.

A: This is simply a default setting. User can select any level. Go to Options->Setup->"Automatically tag for deletion items ranked" and pick your choice from the list ( Red / Orange / Yellow / None ).

So, if you, say select Orange level then MBG will mark for deletion all messages with risk equal to, or higher than Orange. Thus all Orange (level 2), and Red (level 3) will be marked for deletion automatically during the scan.

5. Q: When messages are deleted ?

A: Messages marked for deletion are not deleted unless button DELETE is pressed. Work of caution: once messages are deleted they are gone for good. This process is irreversible, you have been warned.

6. Q: Why I can still find in my mailbox messages that have been marked by Mailbox Guard for deletion ?

A: Just make sure that your email program is not set to "Automatically Receive Mail" or "Check mail every (...) minutes".

7. Q: I receive mail under few different aliases on the same server, how can I make Mailbox Guard to not tag the message as possible spa when receive message with alias different from Email Address in Account settings ?

A: Simply provide a common part of the email string as your email address when you create new account. For example, if you have your own web server, say myserver.com, and you have a couple of aliases like info@myserver.com, myname@myserver.com, support@myserver.com etc. the string you enter for email address could be @myserver.com, or even myserver.com only.

8. Q: How can I do that messages from a particular sender will always be marked for deletion ?

A: Just right-click the message from that sender in the list, and select "Add To Black-List". From this time on, every new message from that person will be automatically marked for deletion. If you change your mind, simply right-click, and select "Remove From List".

9. Q: How can I do that messages from a particular sender will never be marked for deletion ?

A: Just right-click the message from that sender in the list, and select "Add To White-List". From this time on, all messages from that person (even if fall into high risk category) will never be marked for deletion. This override may constitute a security risk so exercise caution. If you change your mind, simply right-click, and select "Remove From List".

10. Q: How to deal safely with messages marked Red (high risk) which contains important information I want to keep ?

A: Use common sense and Preview in your judgement whether to let the message in. If all you need is textual data, you can cut & paste the contents of the Preview window away to your document and save it to file. Alternatively you can Dump message in question to file (it is safe) and extract important data from there. Also, it enables you to run your favourite anti-virus program on "dumped" file, and "fix" it if needed. Fixed file can be later imported to any program, which facilitates import of email messages.

11.
Q: Is Mailbox Guard "heavy on resources" for my PC ?

A: Not at all. It takes much less memory and system resources than standard email program (i.e. MS Outlook Express, or Eudora). As a matter of fact, I usually keep MBG all time on, checking from time to time what arrived in mail. Then once, at the end of the day I fire-up my Outlook Express to collect all remaining mail and send replies.
