Quarantined Mail Reports: For Spam and Virus messages messages saved to a folder, you can receive daily emailed reports of what is new in these folders so that you can more easily identify false positives.
Do you use POP? If you use POP, you can have SPAM saved to your INBOX and use special headers in these messages to sort them in your email client as they are downloaded.
Do you use IMAP or WebMail? If you use IMAP or WebMail, you can have SPAM saved to a separate folder so that you can review it at your leisure and so that it does not interfere with the legitimate email in your INBOX.
