remicco 0 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Hello, My only email client that I've been using is MS Outlook 2013. Is it recommended to run Outlook 2013 with its built-in email junk filter enabled together with ESET Smart Security's (v8.0) spam protection activated? Will there be no incompatibility resulting in an even higher amount of spam coming into my mailbox? I'd be grateful for a reliable answer. -- - remicco PS: All my mail accounts are IMAP accounts (mostly of Gmail).

sdalgl72 6 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I personally disable the built in filter in Outlook. Comes down to personal preference I would of thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remicco 0 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 OK. Thank you. I wasn't sure if they aren't conflicting with each other or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arakasi 549 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Threats will still be detected on the ports they come in on by TCP/IP or UDP. You dont need the plug in actually installed in the client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,718 Posted December 17, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 17, 2014 I wouldn't recommend disabling any of the protection modules, including email client plug-ins. ESET's plug-ins shouldn't clash with built-in junk filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk 397 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Yes AFAIK it can only get better when both spam filters are enabled. Maybe in this case a mail is detected by ESET's spam filter and Outlooks spam filter too, but who cares? It will be just moved into the spam directory by the module which is "faster". So just think of it as a "two-layer protection". Edited December 20, 2014 by rugk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
