Configuring Email Filters

Configuring Email Filters

We recently introduced Spam filtering which puts a potentially spam email into Junk folder. If you do not wish to use this functionality, you can turn off Anti-Spam from customer portal, move all your Junk to Inbox, and Delete Junk Folder. This way all the emails will go to Inbox by disabling Junk.

This guide take you through setting up custom filters to automatically move emails into separate folders. For Spam/Junk emails, you just mark an email as Junk (or SPAM depending on your client), and it will be treated accordingly by our filters from next email.
