2. After selecting the Junk Mail Handling option, the Junk Mail Handling screen should appear with the Settings tab on top.

   a) Check Enable Junk List- All email addresses placed on the Junk List from now on will be moved into the Junk Mail Folder.

   b) Your Junk Mail Folder can automatically delete mail that has been placed inside. Check the Automatically delete option and enter the number of days you wish mail to remain in the Junk Mail Folder before being removed and placed in the Trash Folder.

   c) If you would like to stop receiving mail altogether from a particular email address. Check Enable Block List. All addresses placed on the Block List will not be delivered to your mailbox.
   

3. Next, you will need to add addresses to your junk mail list, block list, and trust list. The tabs to each of these are located at the top of the Junk Mail Handling screen.

   a) Junk Mail List- Mail from all addresses/domains listed will be moved into the Junk Mail folder upon receipt.

   b) Block List- Mail from all addresses/domains listed will not be delivered to your mailbox.
