Quarantine tab

The Quarantine tab within VPOP3 webmail is where you view and manage messages that have been quarantined by VPOP3's spam filter.

As you can see from the screenshot, unlike many of the other webmail tabs, it is not divided into multiple sections:

Quarantine tab - VPOP3 Version 5.0 Webmail

Page structure

Quarantine toolbar

The Quarantine toolbar contains the following buttons:

  • Show Hidden → toggles the display of messages that have been hidden
  • Hide Msgs → hides the selected messages
  • Mark Seen → marks a message to indicate whether you have checked it already
  • Release → releases the message from quarantine, into your inbox - may retrain the Bayesian filter, depending on your settings
  • Date → drop-down selection - allows you to view messages for a particular date

Message grid

The grid containing fields: Selection, From, Subject, Date, Score, Size. By default, 50 messages are displayed at a time, with page navigation options made available once enough messages are present.
It is possible to enter text at the top of the From, Subject, Score and Size columns to filter the displayed messages.

Performing actions

Viewing a message

To view a quarantined message, double-left-click the message row in the grid. This will bring up a windowed preview of the message, with full headers and advanced options for releasing the message. To reduce the risk of the user being exposed to offensive or upsetting material, all image files are automatically blocked in this preview.
