For any messages quarantined as junk email, you can:
1. Read the sender and subject of the suspicious messages, and select messages to DELETE or DELIVER. To delete or deliver messages "in bulk", select any messages using the checkbox next to each message or use the one checkbox in the header to select/unselect them all at once.

2. Read the body of the message by clicking on the subject line. You can then delete or deliver after you determine if the email is junk or legitimate:

Delete: Deleting the message will keep it from reaching your inbox. The message is moved to the Trash where it will expire after 14 days from when it first arrived in your Message Center.

Deliver: Legitimate email should be delivered to your inbox. After you deliver the email, you'll receive a message asking whether to "approve" the sender and add to your Approved Senders list - approving this will prevent future messages from that address from being quarantined in your Message Center.

Note: Delivered messages are also moved to the Trash once they are forwarded to your inbox.

You can adjust your settings at any time to better suit your personal preferences.

At the top of your Message Center, click the link for the service you wish to configure. The link will display a green or red button to show whether the service is active or inactive, respectively.

Junk Email
Click the "Junk Email" link; this is the pre-set to ON to activate basic filtering. If you do not want any filtering done, you may turn Junk Email filtering OFF.

You can, additionally, customize personal settings by clicking the following titles:

Filter Categories: Filter out potentially offensive email topics like "Get Rich Quick", "Sexually Explicit", "Racially Insensitive", and "Special Offers". This setting heightens the sensitivity towards these specific categories.

Filter Sensitivity: Junk Email filters are pre-set to Lenient. We recommend you monitor how much legitimate email is quarantined and adjust your filter sensitivity accordingly to your comfort level, especially after you have "Approved" any critical senders beforehand.

Blocked and Approved Senders: You can block or approve any senders ("user@company.com") or domains ("company.com") by entering addresses manually. (Note: most professional spammers change their addresses often, making it difficult to block specific junk email senders with this setting).
