‘Check messages when they arrive’, then click
the 'Next' button:
|
|
|
3. Select
the condition 'with specific words in the subject', and then select the link 'specific words'
in the 'Rule description' pane:
|
|
|
4. Type
[SPAM+], then click 'Add' to add
that to the 'Search List' and then Click 'OK':
|
|
|
5. Click ‘Next’ to continue.
In the ‘What do you want to do with the message?’ window, select ‘move it to the specified folder’.
In the ‘Rule description’ window click on the underlined value ‘specified’ to edit:
|
|
|
6. Choose "Junk E-mail" and then click OK:
|
|
|
7. Click 'Next' to continue. Add any exceptions you may want (not necessary right now, though later you may want to edit this rule and add exceptions for fine tuning) and then Click ‘Next’ to continue:
|
|
|
8. Click
‘Next’ to continue. Name the rule ‘Spam’ then
check “Run this rule now on messages already in
Inbox.’ and ‘Turn on this rule’. Click 'Finish'
to complete:
|
|
|
| Note: It's recommended
that you check the 'Junk E-mail' folder weekly to remove
the spam and prevent your mailbox from filling up. It's
best not to empty the folder without review as that
may be deleting messages accidentally. |
