ChoiceMail Free - Developer's Site

Description: You can stop the spam menace with ChoiceMail Free. The program is permission-based, and when you install it, the program creates a whitelist of all the names in your address book. These people can send you email at any time, and as you send messages the recipients are automatically added to the list. The program quarantines email received from unrecognised senders, sending them to an email form that they have to fill in. When they register, ChoiceMail sends you a message, and you can decide whether you want to whitelist them or not.

Ella - Developer's Site

Description: Ella is supposedly the latest solution to help you handle that spam (junk email) mountain.

While not a complete solution to spam, it can make it more manageable and avoids the “false positive”, where something you actually want to read gets trashed.
