Server-side filters
 

The most common use of email filters is to remove unsolicited commercial e-mail (spam) from your Inbox. By default all mailboxes are pre-loaded with a spam filter which delivers all emails our servers determine as spam to the Spam folder instead of the Inbox.

To manage your email filters on the servers, first log into your webmail. Once logged in, click the "filters" link that appears at the right end of the menu. A list of current filters is shown.

Step 4


Choose "Move message into" - if you have created a folder already choose it from the existing folder list. If not choose "a new folder" and name it "Spam" as a subfolder of "INBOX". Tick the checkbox beside the stop sign at the bottom, and click "Move on to step 4."
