Notes

# If you choose Exclusive for your junk e-mail filter, only messages from e-mail addresses on your Contacts or Allowed senders lists appear in your Inbox. Messages from senders not on those lists are automatically sent to the Junk e-mail folder.

# You should occasionally check your junk e-mail folder to make sure that good messages are not sent there by mistake.
