Some (IMAP) mail servers support a machine learning spam filtering by using the mail data in the spam mailbox. If the spam mailbox matches between SpamBlocker and the mail server, SpamBlocker can feedback its spam filtering result to the mail server. Then the spam mail traffic can be reduced.

■SpamBlocker provides a spam filtering feature
SpamBlocker(the usage is explained at the online help in the App) can filter out spams(junk mails) from the incoming mail messages by a spam filter which is generated by the SpamBlocker's built-in machine learning engine.
SpamBlocker also supports 'rule based' filtering by specifying "sender's mail address" or "subject"'s substring.

SpamBlocker supports IMAP/POP3 and can access only Inbox, spam box, trash box.
SpamBlocker has no mail sending facility.

As for the POP3 mail filtering, SpamBlocker has to get started before other mailers, otherwise spams will be downloaded to other mailers
because POP3 has no synchronization mechanism .
SpamBlocker supports HTML image blocking.
SMS/MMS are not supported.

SpamBlocker adapts the advertising free application model, but it has no resident toolbar, so the client area with an advertisement banner isn't narrower than other standard iOS applications.

■Main Features:
•Fast machine learning engine optimized for a mobile device
◦Learn ham and spam mail messages to generate a spam filter
◦Spam filtering time is very short compared with mail messages downloading time.
◦Multi-language. In this version, only English and Japanese are supported. 
European languages will be OK if it's based on alphabets.
◦Multi-account


■How to connect to an mail server:
To connect an mail server,
just specify your full email address as your login name(username) and the password you log in to your account.
If you don't know your login name/password, contact an organization or personnel in charge of the mail server to get a hostname, user id(name), password.

■Basic operation

■Spam filtering:
SpamBlocker generates a spam filter by learning from spam and ham messages in INBOX.

1. Tap 'Edit' button in Monitor.
2. Pick up several mail messages by tapping each table cell.
3. Tap "SPAM" button on the command bar.
4. Likewise pick up mails, and "HAM" button on the command bar.
5. "Pull down to Refresh" or "Long press on the navigation bar" triggers Machine learning, then a spam filter will be generated.
6. Repeat the steps(1-5) until the number of spams and hams reaches about 16.
7. After learning 16 spams and 16 hams, SpamBlocker is ready to start judging which mail is spam or not. Set the spam filter switch on the account setting if you want to start the spamfiltering.
8. Check the filtering result on Monitor.
9. Correct errors and 'Pull down to Refresh" or "Long press on the navigation bar", re-learning starts and your spam filter gets smarter.

Garbage

Creates more spam and unwanted popups than it blocks. DO NOT INSTALL tHIS APP ON YOUR IPHONE!


Might not be good
ScottshrdwdWA

It didn't work. Wouldn't connect to the host. Kept saying error.


Spam Gone

I have been looking for a great spam removal app since I got my first iPad more than three years ago. I finally found one that really works like the one I have on my Mac. This is a very sophisticated spam remover app. It takes a little bit of learning, but the time you put into it is well worth it! Complete instructions on producer's website.


Confusing, slow and don't think it worked
Barcelonina

I was looking for something to help filter all the spam from my inbox. Saw this, decided to give it a try. It crashed often, the instructions were confusing and I'm not sure it actually was working. I uninstalled it.


This App Might Be Great...

If it didn't crash immediately after showing my IMAP inbox.


Doesn't work

Doesn't work on my Charter POP account. No instructions. Don't waste your time. I gave it one state, but I would give it zero stars if possible.

Mock.troy

Crashes
Rodenator

Might be OK except, as others have said, it crashes any time you try to do something with it. Then you have to re-enter your login and account setup information again. Pretty useless. APPLE, PUT A SPAM FILTER IN YOUR MAIL APP!!!!


Crap
D as in coffee

Crap


Love it, but crashes consitantly
Skypilota72

It is a great program when it works, version 1.4.5 It crashes almost every other time when opening. Still, it's worth the hassle for the benefits it provides. The filter is consistent and trustworthy. For that reason alone, I feel it's with 4 stars as is.
