Creating the Spamscreen Folder in Eudora (Mac)

If you've set up Spamscreen filtering for another IMAP-based email program you use for your MIT email, e.g., Outlook or Eudora (used with IMAP), your Spamscreen folder is already set up.

Note: Everyone with an account created on or after October 4, 2004 will have a Spamscreen folder already created on the main server and will not need to complete the following steps.

Create the Folder

1. Launch Eudora and select Mailbox > <Dominant> > Inbox > New... to create a new mailbox on the server.
   
   
   
   Result: The "New Mailbox" dialog appears.
   
   
   
   
2. Type "Spamscreen" in the space provided and click OK.
   Note: The first - and only the first - letter of "Spamscreen" should be capitalized.
   
   Result: Your Spamscreen folder has been created. New mail sent to your MIT email account marked as Spam will be "stored" in this folder.
   
   
3. To see your new Spamscreen folder, select Window > Mailboxes
   
   
   
   Result: The "Mailboxes" window with your new Spamscreen folder appears.
