Spam Folder: Difference between revisions

You can create some special folders manually to help with dealing with spam. (We used to create these automatically, but do not at the moment.)

*spam

*learnspam

*learnham

===spam===

Messages which the system has marked as spam will be placed

in to the spam folder rather than your inbox. -this helps

keep your inbox free of spam.

You should keep an eye on this folder in case there are messages

that are not spam. -if you do find such messages, then move then

to the learnham folder which is in your Inbox.

If you delete the spam folder, then spam messages will go to

your Inbox folder instead.

===learnspam and learnham===

The special spam folders leanspam and

are folders that you can move messages in to so as to help

the Bayesian system deal with your email.

TEACHING A MESSAGE AS SPAM:

If you have a message which is spam, but the system

has not marked as spam, then you can move the message to

your spam folder. This will get learnt as it's moved.

You can also move the message in to the learnspam folder

for it to get learnt overnight, it will then be moved

back to your spam folder once learnt.

TEACHING A MESSAGE AS NOT-SPAM (HAM):

If you have a message that has been marked as spam, but

is not a spam message, then you can do move it out

of the spam folder and in to your Inbox and it will be

learnt as it's moved.
