Junk E-Mail
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Don't move mail to my Junk E-Mail folder |
Select this option button if you want to turn off junk e-mail filtering. If you select this, you won't be able to use any of the other options on this tab. Selecting this doesn't turn off the junk e-mail filtering that's been set by the administrator for your account. |
Automatically filter junk e-mail |
Select this option if you want to use junk e-mail filtering. This is in addition to the junk e-mail filtering that's been set by the administrator for your account. |
Add senders you trust and recipients that you don't want to block to this list. E-mail from these senders or to these recipients will never be treated as junk e-mail. Safe recipients include groups that you're a member of and from which you want to receive e-mail messages. You can also add individual e-mail addresses to your Safe Senders and Recipients list. A recipient is the intended destination of a message. A recipient can be a specific person or a group. |
|
Trust e-mail From my contacts |
If you select this check box, e-mail from any address in your Contacts will be treated as safe. |
Blocked senders are domains and people you don't want to receive e-mail messages from. Messages received from any e-mail address or domain in your Blocked Senders list are sent directly to your Junk E-Mail folder. |
|
Don't trust e-mail unless it comes from someone in my Safe Senders and Recipients list or local senders |
In addition to Safe Senders and Recipients and Blocked Senders, you can use this setting to treat all e-mail as junk unless it comes from someone included in your Safe Senders and Recipients list or from senders in your shared address list. |
