Check your webmail Junk Mail folder often and add addresses to your "Trusted Senders" list on webmail |
|
All mail is labeled (subject line is modified) and passed to your computer
|
|
Handy tip: In your webmail Junk E-Mail folder, checkmark one or more emails, click "ACTION" then "Unmark as Spam" and the senders of those emails will be added to your "Trusted Senders" list.
|
|
Only "spam-low" email is passed to your computer
|
|
Your Email Program
(Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.) |
|
|
|
Your phone or PDA (Blackberry, Treo, etc.) |
|
Create rules in
your email program to automatically move "spam-medium" mail to "junk" or "spam" folder and "spam-high" mail to "deleted
items" folder |
|
|
|
Some PDAs have rule-making capability.
If your PDA does not, best to use the "Junk Mail" folder and the "Trusted Senders" area on webmail. |
