Using IncrediMail Junk Filter and Approved Sender's list

The approved sender's list is automatically created from your address book and from the sent email messages when you enable the junk filter.

To be able to use the IncrediMail JunkFilter and the Approved Sender's list you must have version 1482 or higher installed.

How the Junk Email or Anti spam Filter works

Once enabled the approved sender's list is created and incoming messages are filtered based on that list. Depending on whether the sender is on or not on the approved sender's lists determines what happens to incoming messages from that sender.

Incoming messages are directed to one of two folders: inbox or junk & unapproved folder.

1) Messages from people in the Approved Senders list are directed to your Inbox.

2) Messages from people who are not on the Approved Senders list are directed to the Junk & Unapproved folder.

IncrediMail have a very nice flash presentation at Junk email tutorial page .

Maintaining the Approved Senders list

When you send an email message the email recipient is automatically added to the Approved Senders list if not already present. You can manually add a recipient to the Approved Senders list by either:

1 Right clicking the message and select add to approved senders list.

2.With the message open click message and select add to approved senders list.

3. Open the approved senders list from tools>junk and unapproved>junkfilter settings. Click add to add a email address to the list


You can remove an email sender from the approved senders list by either:

1. Right clicking the message and select remove from approved senders list.

2.With the message open Click message and select remove from approved senders list.

3. Open the approved senders list from tools>junk and unapproved>junkfilter settings. Click add to add a email address to the list

Filtering by domain

If you receive email from several users and the same organisation then it is usually easier to add the domain to the Approved domains list than to add each sender to the approved senders list.

To add a domain to the approved domains list click tools>junk and unapproved>junkfilter settings and select the approved domains tab and then add.

Advanced Junk filter settings

These are reached from tools>junk and unapproved>junkfilter settings. Here you can do such things as :

• Enable /disable Automatically add to my 'Approved Senders' list people I send emails to
• Display Notifier when email arrives in the 'Junk & Unapproved' folder
• Always approve 'failure delivery' messages (bounce messages).

Reviewing the Junk & Unapproved folder:

 No filter can be 100 % accurate and so email from legitimate contacts will invariably turn up in the Junk & Unapproved folder. Therefore it is important that you should regularly review the Junk & Unapproved folder and manually add valid senders and/or delete unwanted mail. The Junk Filter will become more accurate over time as you continue to work with it.
