Automatic disposition of held mail?

[swsnyder]

I get about 30 - 40 messages a day in my Held Mail folder, and in the 16 months I've been using the mail service I have only found a couple of messages that were erroneously filtered.

The quantity of Held mail builds up quickly. Every day I have to log into SpamCop, select all the messages, opt for report & trash, then act on the selected option. Ideally, I'd like my SpamCop e-mail filtering to be a set-and-forget service.

Can I configure my SpamCop account to automatically report and trash the messages in my Held Mail folder? Further, can I arrange to have the messages in my Trash folder deleted after x days?

Thanks.

No, you can't configure you SpamCop account to automatically report and trash the messages in your Held Mail folder.

Further, can I arrange to have the messages in my Trash folder deleted after x days?

Yes, you can arrange to have the messages in your Trash folder deleted after x days. Webmail / Options / Mail Management / Maintenance Operations / Purge messages in Trash folder older than this amount of days.

but of course, if you haven't reported/trashed your email out of your Held Email, it won't make it to the trash folder.

The system does delete Held Email after 14 days though - JT did mention this once, but I must say I have gone longer a couple of times while on holidays and found a month's worth sitting there.
