The Email Filter helps protect your email address from junk email.

The Email Filter uses advanced technology to identify approximately 98% of all incoming junk email messages, then lets you choose how to handle them. You can tag junk email messages, hold them temporarily in the Webmail junk folder, delete them, or you can turn the Email Filter off entirely.

How it works...

Email Clients have 4 Email Filter Options to choose from...

• Disable Junk Email Filtering

This is the default setting.  All email messages will be delivered to your email address unfiltered.

• Tag Suspected Junk Email

The subject line of suspected Junk Email messages will begin with "[Suspected Junk Email]".

To see instructions for using message rules to manage junk email, please select your email program from the following list:

1. Outlook 2002 (Office XP)

2. Outlook Express 5/6 for Windows

• Hold Suspected Junk Email

  Suspected Junk Email messages will be held in a "Junk" Webmail folder for 7 days.

   

• Delete Suspected Junk Email

  Suspected Junk Email messages will be deleted. You will not be able to review deleted messages.
