e-mail spam

Hello,

Sorry for my poor english.

I have a problem with my htc desire hd. When I read my mail on my smartphone I have tons of spam mails, while when I read the same mail account on my pc with outlook, no spam mail is there.

Do you know a good software spam blocker (free) for android?

Thank you for your answers.
 
You should set the spam filter at your mail account on your provider's site.

With the filter on the phone the spam will come to the phone (storage) before it get filtered.

Maybe an app is pushing the spam, such as Leadbolt or Airpush?
App Detector can scan for that and tells you the offending app.
 
Outlook has it's own spam filter so if you have it set pretty aggressively you won't see much in your inbox. It will show up in your spam folder if your server is not filtering for you.

You will see all the spam on your mobile device unless you filter it there too. Sorry, but I can't recommend anything since I don't use one.
 
Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

I have the spam filter on my email server, but outlook has a much better one.

I would like something more aggressive for my moblie device.
 
I think there isn't a stand-alone spam filter app.

You should look at the email client apps like 'K-9' which might have such a spam filter, but I'm not sure.
