Filtering e-mail

Anti-Spam examines your incoming e-mail, and categorizes it as
spam (e-mail soliciting you to purchase something) or phishing
(e-mail soliciting you to provide personal information to a
potentially fraudulent Web site). By default, Anti-Spam then
marks each unsolicited e-mail message as spam or phishing (the
tag [SPAM] or [PHISH] appears in the subject line of the
message), and moves the message to the McAfee Anti-Spam
folder.
To customize the way Anti-Spam filters your e-mail messages,
you can mark e-mail as spam or not spam from the Anti-Spam
toolbar, change the location where spam messages are moved, or
change the tag that appears in the subject line.
To change how spam is processed and marked, you can
customize the location where spam and phishing e-mail
messages are moved, and customize the name of the tag that
appears in the subject line.
You can also disable Anti-Spam toolbars as part of your
troubleshooting strategy when you are experiencing issues with
your e-mail program.

tagged with [SPAM] or a tag of your choice and left in your Inbox,
your McAfee Anti-Spam folder (Outlook, Outlook Express,
Windows Mail, Thunderbird), or your Junk folder (Eudora®).
When you mark a message as not spam, the message tag is
removed and the message is moved to your Inbox.
