Why does SpamX use a separate Inbox instead of just flagging the mail as “spam”?
Because SpamX does more than just catch spam, it also allows you to report the spammers to their ISPs and make a difference. We know of no other ‘anti-spam’ program that allows ‘One-Click’ spam reporting like SpamX does and this capability is far beyond what any ordinary email client can do. In order to determine the proper reporting addresses, SpamX needs the spam itself so it can perform the header ananysis required to determine the source(s) of the spam. The other thing to bear in mind is, since SpamX puts spam checking right on the desktop for instant access, it’s no further than a mouse click away to check the current spam. Having the spam in a different location than the normal email can also help keep your email just a bit more “Kid-Safe”.
