store@yourdomain.com, and then simply change the account name back when you need it again. Refer to page

21 for more information.

To delete an auto responder:

1. Click on the Auto Responders link in the Mail Menu area.

2. Click on the

button next to the auto responder that you want to delete.

Blocking email

You can block an email using spam filters. There are many definitions of spam, but one of the most

useful ones is the following:  Spam: unsolicited email, usually of a commercial nature. 

Spam is the electronic version of junk mail, and has been around since the Internet was created. Spam filters

are a way of filtering your email to remove unwanted mail based on a variety of criteria. You can block any sort

of email, not just mail of a commercial nature. Blocked mail is deleted automatically   it does not even bounce

back to the sender. These filters are quite flexible   some examples are provided after the instruction on how to

add a spam filter below. All filters are cumulative.
