How Can I Stop the Spam Coming Into My Computer?
To delete your overnight/weekend SPAM before it hits your PC and slows it down, or to be able to access your emails from anywhere with an internet connection.

Unfortunately Horde will not delete spam unless you open the webmail interface.

If you follow the instructions below and when you get into the office in the morning you open your web browser and Horde before opening your email client and doing a send and receive, Horde will delete most of your spam stopping your PC and internet connection slowing down to a snails pace while it sorts all your SPAM out.

  1. Open your web mail domain in a browser (IE, Mozilla, AOL..) If you do not know how to do this please refer to your SITE INFORMATION DOCUMENT you’ve been sent or contact nsalls@WGCDesigns.com
  2. NOTE: unter your USERNAME (email address) and PASSWORD but ENTER the IMAP Server & English US as settings.
  3. Once Horde is open click on the options menu button at the top.
  4. PERSONAL DETAILS. This is optional in case you are going to use Horde to respond to emails if you are away. If not there’s no need to bother. SKIP TO No 12.
  5. Open PERSONAL DETAILS
  6. Select EDIT YOUR IDENTITY
  7. Leave as the DEFULT and add your personal information into the boxes including a signature.
  8. Tick SAVE SENT MAIL and select the DEFAULT selection from the drop down.
  9. Now click on CREATE
  10. Now go back to options by clicking OPTIONS in the top menu
  11. Ignore SERVER INFORMATION, LANGUAGE and TIME ZONE.
  12. We’ll come back to FILTERS.
  13. Click on MESSAGE VIEWING and tick the “Filter message content for profanity?” box.
  14. Click SAVE OPTIONS.
  15. Select “Deleting and Moving Messages”
  16. Tick both boxes and click on SAVE OPTIONS.
  17. Open MAINTENANCE OPTIONS and untick the top box “Perform maintenance operations on login?”. All the top boxes here should be unticked.”Purge old message in the Trash folder?” should be ticked. Leave rest at default.
  18. Select DISPLAY OPTIONS.
  19. Change the default number of email message displayed on the page from 20 to at least 100. I have mine set at 500 as it’s easier to scroll down that open a new page.

  28. Click on SAVE OPTIONS

  31. Search SUBJECT only for: watches, cartier, sex, viagra, manhood, adult, medical, enlarge, pills, orgasm, orgasms, sexually, sexuality, porno, casino, trader alert, trade notice, rolex, medications, meds. Please be careful and think about what your legitimate senders might use.
