Launch Spamihilator at Windows startup

Activate this option if you want Spamihilator to automatically launch when starting Windows.

Enable window alpha blending

If you want Spamihilator's windows to fade in, activate this setting.
Note that this effect is only available on Windows 2000 and XP, and requires additional system performance.

Updates

Automatically check for updates

Here you can enable Spamihilator to automatically contact the Spamihilator server and search for updates to keep your Spamihilator program version up-to-date. This will happen in the background and only when an Internet connection is already established.

Every [x] days

This will set the frequency of the automatic update search.

Recycle bin

Don't keep messages more than [x] days

Here you can set the number of days that spam mails should be stored in the Recycle Bin. After this period of time, the spam mails will be permanently deleted.

Keep Spam Mails on the server until I delete them from the Recycle Bin

If this option is enabled, Spamihilator will leave all recognized spam mails on the mail server. The mails won't be deleted, so you can still download them with another computer. This is useful for "false-positives" (mails accidently marked as spam).

If you delete such a mail from the Recycle Bin, it will be removed from the mail server the next time you connect to it.

Backup your settings

Export...

You can save all of your Spamihilator settings in a backup file. This is useful if you have to re-install Spamihilator on another computer or after a system crash.

When clicking on "Export...", a dialog will appear where you can choose a filename and location for the backup file. Spamihilator is able to save the following settings:

Import...

When clicking on "Import...", a dialog will appear where you must choose the file that should be imported and you can select which data will be imported from that file. You can restore all information that has been saved to a backup file with the export function of Spamihilator, or you can restore just some of it.

Please note: The imported data will overwrite the existing Spamihilator settings, including mails in the Recycle Bin. If you are not sure about this, please create an additional backup file of the current settings in case you need to revert back to your current settings.
