Junk Mail Extras

To configure Junk Mail Extras, go to Tools, then Options.When the new window appears scroll down till you see the Junk Mail Extras icon. These settings are important because they prevent from non-junk mail getting deleted by accident. No junk mail filter is perfect. These settings allow you to retrieve mail should it get accidentally deleted. Configure your settings to the screenshot below.

Training your Junk Mail Filter

Once you have enabled your junk filtering in Eudora, you must check the junk folder frequently throughout the day to check for legitimate messages.  If you find something that was marked as junk, and it should not be, right click on the message and select Not Junk.  This adds the sender to your local directory and prevents future messages from them going to junk.

Similarly, if you find something in your Inbox that should be marked as Junk, right click on the message and select Junk.  Future messages from this sender will go to the Junk folder.
