Guided Setup Instructions

The steps below will help you locate your email settings in your email program and then help you make the changes.

Step One: Locate your email settings

Select your email program from the drop-down menu. Open your email program (eg. Outlook Express) and then follow the step-by-step instructions to find your email settings.

We recommend that you write down your existing Account Name and Incoming mail server (POP3) setting in case you need them in the future.

Step Three: Make changes to your email settings

  • In the Account Name field add an @ symbol eg. john.smith becomes john.smith@
  • Then cut & paste your current Incoming mail server (POP3) setting and add it after the @ symbol in your Account Name eg: john.smith@pop.ozemail.com.au

What our customers say!
Since I became a SpamTrap member it has trapped 1485 pieces of SPAM. Thats over 50% of the mail I got during that same period. Set up was easy and there is a real person who reads and repsonds to any queries I might have. Its the best anti Spam system I have encountered.
