Important

Bitdefender integrates into the most commonly used mail clients through an

easy-to-use antispam toolbar. For a complete list of supported mail clients, please

refer to “Supported e-mail clients and protocols” (p. 87).

Each button from the Bitdefender toolbar will be explained below:

Is Spam - indicates that the selected e-mail is spam. The e-mail will be moved

immediately to the Spam folder. If the antispam cloud services are activated, the

message is sent to Bitdefender Cloud for further analysis.

Not Spam - indicates that the selected e-mail is not spam and Bitdefender should

not have tagged it. The e-mail will be moved from the Spam folder to the Inbox

directory. If the antispam cloud services are activated, the message is sent to

Bitdefender Cloud for further analysis.

Important

The Not Spam button becomes active when you select a message marked as

SPAM by Bitdefender (normally these messages are located in the Spam folder).

Add Spammer - adds the sender of the selected e-mail to the Spammers list.

You may need to click OK to acknowledge. The e-mail messages received from

addresses in the Spammers list are automatically marked as [spam].

Add Friend - adds the sender of the selected e-mail to the Friends list. You may

need to click OK to acknowledge. You will always receive e-mail messages from

this address no matter what they contain.

Spammers - opens the Spammers list that contains all the e-mail addresses

from which you don't want to receive messages, regardless of their content. For

more information, please refer to “Configuring the Spammers List” (p. 91).

Friends - opens the Friends list that contains all the e-mail addresses from

which you always want to receive e-mail messages, regardless of their content. For

more information, please refer to “Configuring the Friends List” (p. 90).

Settings - opens a window where you can configure the antispam filters and the

toolbar settings.

17.3.1. Indicating detection errors

If you are using a supported mail client, you can easily correct the antispam filter

(by indicating which e-mail messages should not have been marked as [spam]).

Doing so helps improve the efficiency of the antispam filter. Follow these steps:

1. Open your mail client.

2. Go to the junk mail folder where spam messages are moved.

3. Select the legitimate message incorrectly marked as [spam] by Bitdefender.
