How do I open a protected message?

Another new feature we have recently added to your E-mail is spam filtering. This feature automatically quarantines messages that are believed to be spam so that your inbox does not get cluttered with them.

You will begin receiving a daily report which details all messages you received that were caught by the spam filter. If a message was incorrectly flagged as spam, you can release it from the quarantine from your spam report by clicking the "Release to Inbox" link.

For detailed instructions, please use the following documentation:
