E. Changing your spam filtering settings on your Windows email:

If you use Microsoft Outlook or similar, it is very important that you change the default settings for spam filtering every time you set up a new email address to ensure that you receive all emails sent to your email address.

The settings can be changed easily by going to http://webmail.xxx.co.uk where xxx.co.uk is your domain name:

  • Log on using your email address and password.
  • If you haven’t logged onto webmail for that account before you may get a window open up asking you which country you are in, select UK and click Finish.
  • Click the cogs icon (popup says Settings) on the left hand menu and second from bottom.
  • Click the + sign next to Filtering on the dropdown menu.
  • Click Spam Filtering
  • Select “Override spam settings for this account”
  • Click the Actions tab
  • Use the dropdown boxes to set the  'Low', 'Medium' and 'High Probability of Being Spam' to 'Add Text to Subject'. This will then add SPAM-LOW, SPAM-MED and SPAM-HIGH as appropriate to the headers of emails but most importantly it will ensure that you receive all emails sent to your account.

If you think you are missing some emails, log onto http://webmail.xxx.co.uk where xxx.co.uk is your domain name and see if the emails are in the Junk folder before contacting EdgeHosts Support.
