<li>Click the <strong>Junk Mail</strong> icon. In the Junk Mailbox 
area of the window, the recommended settings are: <br />

<br />

<ul>

<li><strong>Automatically place junk in Junk mailbox:</strong> unchecked</li>

<li><strong>Remove mail that is at least _ days old:</strong> unchecked<br />
<br />
</li>

</ul>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> These settings disable Eudora's automatic filtering of junk mail.&nbsp; IT Services recommends disabling this "SpamWatch" feature because it requires you to "train" the filter to properly recognize what is and is not spam. Unless that is done,  a significant percentage of legitimate email will be marked as spam.&nbsp; IT Services instead recommends using its <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/services/email/antispam/">spam tagging system</a>, which will be far more accurate without any training. <br />
<br />
If you wish to use Eudora's SpamWatch feature to filter junk mail, see <a href="http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/tutorials/spamwatch.html">Qualcomm's  SpamWatch tutorial</a> for instructions.<br/>
