E-mail Profile and Spam Filter setup for Netscape 6.x
Part I: E-mail Profile setup
1. Account Wizard

Newsgroups.

the Account Setup Wizard will automatically start.
- If not, then start it manually from the Mail window: Edit>Mail
& Newsgroups Account Settings>New Account.
2. New Account setup
- Select "ISP or e-mail provider"
3. Identity

server (smtp.onr.com)

Part II: SPAM Message Filter Setup

Edit>Message Filters click "New..." to
begin a new filter
2. Filter Rules

give the filter an appropriate name
3. For incoming messages that match:
- the default settings are great (So far, Netscape does
not support an option to filter by message header) "Any
of the following" Subject" contains"
- Fill in *****SPAM***** (this is how our SPAM filtering
tags messages in the subject line).
4. Perform this action
- The default settings are almost great. Let's create a
specific folder to put all the tagged messages. We'll put
the folder in the same group as your other folders (Inbox,
Sent, Trash, etc.).
- click New Folder
- Name it SPAM
- "Create as a subfolder of"
- "example@onr.com"
- "Choose this for the parent"
5. The entire rule should look something like:
6. Click "OK" and you'll see the rule in the
list of rules. It should have a check under "Enabled"
7. Click "OK" and you're done.
