              Mail - FILTERS

              Here, you can create filters to automatically sort incoming mail, whether to send to spam, delete, archive, or just mark as read.

              A filter that everyone will want for spam-blocking is the following:

                Click CREATE FILTER Give it a name
                  We'll call this "X-Spam-Flag: YES - send to Spam" (it's quite descriptive so you know what it does) And we'll set it as follows:image.png Click OK, then save (disk icon at top-right)
                  Mail - FORWARD

                  Should you choose to forward all mail that comes into your mailbox, you can choose "Forward incoming messages"

                  Checking that box requires you to specify where the email will be forwarded, and allows you the option to both store a copy on the server AND send it, or simply forward it along without keeping a copy on the server.

                  As always, if you make changes, click save (disk icon).

                    The last tab under Calendar is INVITATIONS, which contains a solitary checkbox to allow you to Prevent from being invited to appointments

                    Address Book

                    Similar to the CATEGORIES tab under Calendar, the only tab under Address Book is to edit and create categories for contacts.
