HOW To Set up a Rule in Outlook Express

This process will enable you to set up a new Outlook Express folder called ‘Spam’ and then to set up a rule to send email marked as ***Spam*** by the WISE Net SPAM filtering system directly to this folder instead of your Inbox.

This will enable you to quarantine Spam but still you give the ability to check the contents periodically before deleting them to make sure that legitimate emails haven’t been tagged. We detect thousands of Spam emails every day so it is always possible that we tag some legitimate emails by mistake.
