junk mail filter

Unread post by esguild15 » 2017-01-12, 01:32

Hi , so after having spam assssin enabled and marking certain emails as junk , is there anything i need to do to help fossa mail remember the marked junk as junk? I marked the ones i wanted as junk but they still sit in the inbox. Seems like i should be doing something else. Thanks

If you marked mail as junk, it should automatically move to the bulk/spam folder.

Check Tools/Account Settings/Junk Settings, I think the Move to Junk Folder is unchecked by default (mine was at least).

Are you expecting the Junk Mail function to block receiving those mails? Or delete them from server? Are you using IMAP or POP3? POP3 as far as I know will always still retrieve them but when working properly would automatically move them to the Junk folder. I don't use IMAP so I won't speculate. And I don't have anything in my inbox to properly test with at the moment. I know most spam filters have a "learning curve" to automatically identify new junk, but should immediately move the ones that are marked manually (unless it's already in the trash as in my case).
