Improving Accuracy of Spam Detection
To improve the accuracy of spam detection:
- On your Home page, click Mail in the Services group.
- Click the e-mail address you need.
- Click the Spam Filter icon in the Tools group.
- Click the Training icon in the Tools group.
All e-mail messages you have in your mailbox are presented on the screen.
- Train the spam filter.
In most cases, you can tell if a message is spam by looking at its subject line and sender's name. If they do not give you any clue, try looking inside the message using your e-mail program or Webmail interface.
- To mark a message as spam, select the corresponding check box and click 'It's Spam!'.
- To mark a message as not spam, select the corresponding check box and click 'It's Not Spam'.
- To remove any information on a given message from the spam filter database, select the corresponding check box and click 'Forget It'.
Once finished with training, you can remove spam e-mails from your mailbox using your e-mail program or Webmail interface.
