Back to the Index page Filtering Unsolicited E-mail (Spam) to the Trash - Eudora Pro

Eudora Pro 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 Pro filter all messages containing this e-mail address to the trash.

To automatically send unwanted e-mail to the Trash:
  1. Locate the e-mail message from the sender who you want to filter.
  2. Right-click in the e-mail message text box.
  3. From the menu that appears, select Make Filter.
  4. Verify that the e-mail address in the From text box is the e-mail that you want sent to the trash.
  5. Check the circle next to Delete Message.
  6. Click on Create Filter.
  7. If you are prompted to save the changes 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.
