Filtering junk e-mail (spam)

Use the junk e‑mail filter to prevent unsolicited junk e‑mail (spam) from cluttering your Inbox. The Junk E-mail filter supports Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express (both referred to in this document simply as "Outlook").

During installation, the ZoneAlarmjunk e‑mail filter toolbar is added to your Outlook e‑mail program’s toolbar.

The junk e‑mail filter also adds three special folders to your Outlook folder list: ZoneAlarm Challenged Mail, ZoneAlarm Junk Mail, and ZoneAlarm Phishing Mail. When ZoneAlarm security software identifies an e-mail message as junk, phishing, or challenged, it puts the message in one of these folders. If you are using Outlook to access Hotmail, you must use the junk e‑mail filter’s spam blocking features and special folders instead of Hotmail’s.
