Live@Edu Junk Mail Filtering

31 01 2012

Just a note to anyone who may be checking their Live@Edu mail from another program, such as gmail. Live@Edu does its own spam filtering into a “junk mail” folder. So if you have a habit of regularly checking your spam or junk mail folders to make sure no important messages are accidentally flagged, you will need to log into Live@Edu to check your junk mail folder as well.

Alternatively, you can turn off the junk mail filtering in Live@Edu. To do this:

  1. Log in live@edu
  2. Click “Options” in the upper right hand corner
  3. Select “Junk E-Mail” from the list on the left hand side
  4. Select the button which says “Don’t filter junk e-mail” at the top of that page
  5. Click “Save” in the upper left

Voila! All your mail, even any junk mail, will be sent to your inbox, and thereby moved wherever you want it to go, hopefully caught by the spam filter in your local account.
