Hundreds of spam - was Outlook 2003

["Robin Sapiro" <robin.sapiro@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For the many many spam emails I did the following:
 
Setup a new account at my primary ISP.
Setup an account at Fusemail http://www.fusemail.com/ - ~$20/year
Setup Fusemail to poll my old account at my primary ISP
Setup a mail forwarding rule in Fusemail to forward all mail that is not
spam to my new account
Setup Outlook to only poll my new account at primary ISP
2200 less incoming emails over my network every week now
Fusemail holds the 'spam' for whatever period you set it for - I used 7 days
Fusemail also uses white lists. Any user who sends you an email will be
asked to confirm that they are a real live person by responding to Fusemail
the first time they send you an email. Message they get can be customised.
Automated spammers, don't respond. I check unverified mail about once a day
normally 10-20 items - mostly spam

You can up the timeouts.  I had to do this to give my anti-spam filter
enough time to dump the hundreds of spams I get a day at home.

Tools - Email accounts - View/change existing - (pick an account) -
Change.. - More settings.. -  Advanced tab and up the server timeout
slider.

Outlook 2003 seems to try to do multiple send/receive operations at the
same time.  This often results in time-outs for me and having to do the
whole thing over to get everything.  This may be related to using K9 to
scan a couple of the accounts - I don't know.

Does anyone know how to turn this behavior off - I'd much rather it
behave the way that the 2000 version did and do one account at a time.
