Filtering Unsolicited E-mail (Spam) to the Trash - Eudora Light
Eudora Light can be configured to filter your e-mail as it comes into your Inbox. You can use this feature to place e-mail from certain people into specific mailboxes. This feature is especially useful for filtering out unwanted e-mail. In order to do this, you will need to identify the e-mail address of the unwanted e-mail's sender, then have Eudora Light filter all messages containing this e-mail address to the trash.
To automatically send unwanted e-mail to the Trash:
- From the Tools menu, select Filters.
- Click on the New button at the bottom of the window. An untitled filter will appear in the left window, its setting is into the right.
- From the first drop-down menu next to "Header," select Any Header.
- Next to the "contains" drop-down menu, type in the e-mail address of the person whose mail you wish to filter.
- Under "Action," click on the first drop-down menu and select Transfer To.
- Click on the button next to the Transfer To text box, and select Trash from the drop-down menu that appears.
- Click on the X in the upper right hand corner to close the Filters window.
- If you are prompted to save the changes that you have made, click on the Yes button.
The next time that you check your e-mail, Eudora will search the headers of each message looking for the text that you entered in step 4. If this text is found anywhere within the headers, the message will be moved to the Trash. You may wish to look through your Trash for a few days to ensure that you are not filtering any wanted e-mail.
