From this screen you can add, change or remove the accounts that SpamButcher checks for spam. Clicking the Add or Change buttons will bring up the dialog below.
Export Settings
This option will export all SpamButcher configuration data into registry file which can be loaded onto another SpamButcher installation. The settings can be imported into another copy of SpamButcher by closing SpamButcher, double-clicking on the file, then restarting SpamButcher.
Check for Updates
Clicking this button will check if you're running the latest version of SpamButcher or not. If a new version is found, the SpamButcher website will open so you can download it.
If you are unsure of your account settings, the required information can frequently be found under the "Configuration" menu of your e-mail client. If you cannot determine what your settings are contact your ISP.
