Is that email from Paypal or not?

If you use Paypal then I’m sure that at least once in your lifetime you must have thought that if you have received the email from PayPal or is it that phishing email trying to take your username and password! Well, over the time spam filtering software and services have improved (thanks to GMail for raising the bar), however still there are many times when we get in such confusing situations.

Well, here comes little handy tool from Iconix called eMail ID. It’s also marketed under TrendMicro’s brand too with the same name.

eMail ID is an excellent tool which tells you if the email you’ve received is from the original source or not. It helps you in being safe from the phishing emails. The wonderful thing about this utility is that not only it works with Outlook express but it also works with web based email services like GMail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail (Windows Live Hotmail..to be precise). For the complete list of supported platforms and services , you can check this page.

I think that this is a really wonderful addition to the list of security products and one should definitely install it. It gives the peace of mind that no matter what, you won’t entertain any stupid phishing email and instead will work with real email only.
