Earthlink "known spam" box

Is there any way to get MWP to check Earthlink's "Known Spam" Box?

It'd be nice to not have to log into webmail periodically to clean out that box, but they don't let you turn the spam filters off anymore so stuff still shows up there. Being able to check and delete from MWP would be great.

On my mail host, for example, I can check "username" and "username/spam" to clear spam boxes. I'm hoping for (but frankly not expecting) something like that.

"Leave Earthlink" isn't an option yet; I need to leave that account open while managing an estate. Believe me, I'll be more than happy to drop it once I know I don't need it anymore! :mrgreen:

Thanks!

Yes, that should be no problem, note however that MW can only see other folders than the inbox folder when it checks mail on your ISPs mail server if you setup the email account as IMAP as opposed to POP3 type.

IF not already using IMAP, (currently using POP):

You can change this within MWpro under Settings>>Accounts, click your email account, click the Incoming tab, and beside "Server Type:" select IMAP in place of POP.

Change the IMAP server to what your ISP recommends.

(NOTE: you can get settings for most ISP's (NOT personal domains though) here: http://www.emailsettings.email/ )

Click save to save changes, then select the IMAP tab, click Refresh, and choose your spam or junk mail folders to show in MWpro.

If already using IMAP:

In MWpro click Settings>>Accounts, click your email account, click the IMAP tab, click Refresh, and choose your spam or junk mail folders to show in MWpro.
