GuardMail will check for e-mail messages on your mail server and notify you when new mail has arrived. It can filter out spam mail and detect messages from friends and from people you place on a blacklist. You only download the emails you want.

GuardMail has over 1000 filters you can implement to fight against spam email. It can also keep your Internet connection “alive" in circumstances where your ISP disconnects you after a period of inactivity.
