I am currently using the webmail client which comes with my domain and am having quite a bit of trouble with spam which I am unable to stop. Is Mail on iMac free and can I run my webmail via Mail? I see that Mail on iMac has a blocking facility which I don't seem to have on my Webmail. Mouth-watering! EDIT. I see that the Webmail has an IP address-blocking option. How do I find the IP address for a particular company?

I believe 'Mail on Mac' is free. Simply a built-in app for the OS. Similar to Mail on Windows.
But, in your web interface, is there no spam/junk rules that you can setup?

Thanks for replying. There are some filters, but I was hoping to be able to block them in the first place. I used to have an email provider (now sadly defunct) which provided a 'bounce' facility. Very useful. The main spammer I'm concerned about at the moment, claims that I registered with his web-site. I certainly have no recollection of this. Anyway, I give Mail a shot and see how it goes. I've just checked the website, by the way, and it seems genuine, but there is no way of unsubscribing on the email, which doesn't bode well. Plus I don't know how to locate his IP address. Thanks once again for your input. I'll let you know how I get on.

Trying to install this Mail app but having problems with understanding which email address and password are required. I access my Webmail account with domain name and password, but this doesn't appear to be the one required. Any ideas, please?
