Advanced Spam Filter Instructions

Summary of spam filter imap folders for processing:

Spam – Bulk email detected by our system as “probable spam” is routed to your Spam folder
m3filter – Folder that you move spam that arrived to your inbox that you want to be filtered
m3ham – Folder that you move emails that arrived in your Spam folder that you want to be whitelisted

Our latest update will route questionable spam to a folder named, Spam. If you want to improve the spam filter please let us know by notifying support.

We will scan your m3filter folder to add emails to the spam filter to block them, then automate this task. If you find legitimate email, non-spam (referred to as ham) emails being routed to your Spam filter, move them to a folder (create it if it doesn’t exist) to a folder named:

m3ham

Our system will scan these emails to create a white list for you.

Even with spam filters installed you can still be getting flooded with junk in your inbox.

Note: Please unregister from mailing lists of the spam source, you may have signed up to receive mail or even not noticed a box being checked to receive mail.
