Message Center

The Message Center is your personal area where potential junk and virus-infected email is held. The Message Center is also a starting point for you to configure spam filters and the settings of other email applications.

You should review the detained messages and choose to remove or deliver them. You can also safely read the contents of a virus-infected email without the risk of harming your system.

As a reminder, you'll receive a regular message directing you to the Message Center to review detained email. If a potentially dangerous virus-infected message is detected, you are immediately notified via email. It is recommended that you check your Message Center often at first so your filters "learn" to be more effective and accurate.

All email messages in the Trash are automatically deleted by the system on a periodic basis.

Junk Email Assistant

The Junk Email Assistant will filter unsolicited commercial email once you activate the service, by selecting ON from the Junk Email configuration page. To improve the effectiveness of your filtering, you should further adjust the settings with the Spam Filters and Sender Lists.

To increase the accuracy of your junk email filters, you should add the email addresses of your friends, family, and work associates to your Approved Senders list. This allows all familiar senders to bypass the filters. Second, you can adjust the Spam Filters to meet the level of protection that suits you best. And for the annoying mailing lists and senders, Blocked Senders list is also available to block all messages from those senders.

You will receive a regular summary of quarantined messages. You should visit the Message Center often to help the service adapt to your needs. There is a possibility that "legitimate" messages may be mistakenly detained in the Message Center. If you "Deliver" the message, you will be given the opportunity to add the sender to your Approved Senders list, increasing the accuracy of your filters by allowing email from that sender through.

Virus Assistant

Virus scanning is simple - turn virus filtering ON or OFF. It is highly recommended that you leave virus scanning on - it does not impact your email performance and more importantly, the in-line virus protection service can protect you from malicious and potentially harmful viruses.

If a virus is detected, your message will be safely detained in the Message Center and you will be immediately notified via email. The virus infected message is safely viewable without fear of transmitting the virus to your operating system or installed software. You can then deliver it "as is" or remove it entirely.

Disclaimer
The virus protection assistant is constantly kept up to date through worldwide virus tracking centers. As malicious viruses break out and mutate, updates to the the virus recognition software with the latest virus definitions are made, allowing us to identify them and render them harmless. Although this service will protect you from virtually all incoming email-borne viruses, it is important to know that this service, and others like it, cannot guarantee that your system will never be infected. The best anti-virus solution is a layered approach that protects SMTP, HTTP, and desktop resources.
