MailFrontier Desktop Overview MailFrontier Desktop protects your individual inbox from spam and email fraud (phishing). Seamlessly integrated into Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, MailFrontier Desktop uses an arsenal of techniques to eliminate spam and protect you from phishing, including a real time response network, statistical and heuristic filtering, automatically generated allowed (white) and blocked (black) lists, and optional email challenges. The online tutorial will walk you through using MailFrontier Desktop.
Mail Filtering Settings MailFrontier Desktop allows you to customize the message filters to be more or less stringent. To change the filter settings, double-click on the MailFrontier Desktop “M” icon located in your system tray and select the Messages icon. Here you will see several scroll bars that allow you to determine how firm MailFrontier Desktop filtering rules will be for your overall email and for categories of email types.
Configuring Challenges To configure challenges double click on the MailFrontier Desktop “M” icon located in your system tray and select the Challenges icon. You may specify how secure you want your MailFrontier Desktop to be. The three options are: 1) Always Send Challenges - Always send an Email Challenge to all unknown senders 2) Only Challenge Suspicious Mail - Only send an Email Challenge to a suspicious message 3) Never Send Challenges - MailFrontier Desktop will not send Email Challenges. You can choose the option to send Photo challenges or Permission Request (the permission request challenge option is only available in the registered version). You are able to add a personalized note to your challenges by clicking on the “Personalize” button.
