Obtaining the Most Current Version of This Guide

This guide for Junk Spy was current when issued. But as programs are updated, sometimes changes are necessary in the supporting documentation. The most current version of this guide is always available to you on the Junk Spy website where you can view and/or download it.


Introduction

To effectively intercept your junk mail, Junk Spy works between your email program and your mail server. To make this possible, there are a few settings you will need to change in Netscape so that it retrieves your mail through Junk Spy. The purpose of this document is to walk you through those changes.


Overview

Normally, Netscape contacts your mail server and asks it for your mail. With Junk Spy, however, Netscape will contact Junk Spy and ask it for your mail. But Junk Spy needs to know where to get that mail, so you will change Netscape to pass that information along too.

To get everything running smoothly, you'll make a couple of changes to Netscape's settings.

All of the changes you'll make to your Netscape settings relate to retrieving email. There won't be any other changes to your Netscape configuration.


Changing Settings in Netscape

Start by selecting the Options menu, then the Mail & News Preferences menu item, then click on the Servers tab.

Start by adding the forward slash character (/) to the end of the user name field. Then copy the server name after the slash character in the username field.

Erase the name of your Incoming (POP) server and replace it with the name of your computer. If you don't know the name of your computer, use the Junk Spy TCP/IP Wizard.

The dialog should now look like this:

Click on the OK button to save your work. Now when Netscape retrieves mail it will first pass through Junk Spy and its junk mail detection process.

You're now ready to start Junk Spy by double clicking on the main program object in the Junk Spy folder.


You'll see that Junk Spy takes up very little space on your desktop.


Take a Look at the User's Guide

Junk Spy's User's Guide is on-line, so it is just a mouse click away. It is a good reference that you should find useful. All of Junk Spy's features and options are covered in the User's Guide.

When you installed Junk Spy, it put a Junk Spy folder on your desktop. You'll find the User's Guide in it in the Documentation folder. You'll also find it's an option on Junk Spy's Help menu.
