Bulk Mail Folder Setup.

If you wish to download all mail, including Bulk Mail, we recommend that you set your mailbox to mark the emails that come from those suspicious sources by selecting the "Mark Bulk Mail" option above. This will allow your email program to automatically move that email to a separate folder on your PC.    Downloading all email allows you to verify all emails in case you think one or more addresses are inadvertantly marked as bulk sources.

If you are using Outlook Express, we have provided a program below that you can download to create the Bulk folder and automatically move the marked email into it. If you have not done so already, we recommend that you download that program and run it now.
