The INBOX.spam Mailbox

When the Andrew Spam Filter is enabled, a mailbox named INBOX.spam is automatically created for you. If you chose the option to store spam, mail that has been flagged as spam will be filed into this mailbox. If you wish to store your spam in another mailbox, follow these steps:

  1. If you haven't already created a mailbox in which you want to store your spam, launch the email client that you use to read your mail (e.g., Outlook, Entourage, etc.) and create a mailbox within your Cyrus INBOX; name the folder appropriately (e.g., junkmail, etc.).
  2. From the Carnegie Mellon portal, select the My Accounts tab.
  3. Click on the Turn on/off Spam Filtering link on the left sidebar.
  4. In the Spam Mailbox area, enter the name of the mailbox that you created in step 1 above.
    <empty>
  5. Click Submit to save your changes.
