How to Filter Junk Mail

[Davidf]

When I checked e-mail this morning, the first day I am using Poco as my default e-mail program, 226 junk mails came to my in-box and 0 came to the junk folder.

I haven't changed any settings related to junk or to filters. Under tools/filters, for incoming, all mail, it is set to "run junk." It apparently is not working.

I've looked through the forum and haven't found help for this, though there is mention of a "sensitivity bar" which I've not been able to find.

Thank you.

Go to Tools > Junk Mail filters and set your sensitivity level there.
Also make sure your Junk mail filtering is active.
Check the box.

Going to reply to the rest later on. Dinner time now.

In addition to my previous post Poco needs at least 1,000 good and 1,000 bad words in order to kick in.
Some will say they have good results, others won't.
Of course nobody recieves the same amount of spam, so it could easier or harder to make things work.

Also you'll find several useful tips when reading Junk Mail Filtering Help and How-To.

Everyone does have his own method or uses 3rd party filtering.
It all depends.

P.S.: Moving your topic from PocoMail to Junk Mail Filtering now.
