How to set up spam box?
Hello,
I'm new hear, so please bear with me...
Under the heading "What is SpamBox?" the SpamAssassin Interface Help panel
in my cPanel tells me this:
**************************************************
This feature allows emails identified as spam by SpamAssassin to be
delivered to a separate mail folder named "spam". If this folder is not
regularly checked and emptied, it may cause your email or file system quotas
to be exceeded, resulting in a failure to receive legitimate messages. You
can easily use IMAP or Horde/IMP to check messages that are routed to this
box. If you wish to use pop3 to check the spam box, just add "/spam"
(without the quotes) to the end of your pop3 login. (Example:
user@domain.tld/spam)
**************************************************
However, it doesn't tell me how to actually activate the SpamBox option. All
I can see is an option to auto-delete spam, which I don't necessarily want
to do.
I access my mail account via POP3 and Thunderbird, and Thunderbird correctly
directs messages identified as spam by SpamAssassin into my local Junk
folder, but I would rather keep them out of regular sight in a SpamBox on
the web before they reach my local Thunderbird file system.
Sorry if the answer is obvious, but I can't quite see it.

Thanks, I dare say you are right - I really ought to look into IMAP and try
and understand it! :blush:

It would be much better just to move them to subfolder that could be
accessed by IMAP.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted,

Thanks, but pop3 works well for me, actually.
The point is that I want to divert messages flagged as spam into a web-based
spam folder that I can visit occasionally for assessment, thereby preventing
these messages from being downloaded via pop3.

pop3 is only for getting mails not for remote store of mails, use imap in thunderbird and discover more
