Managing the Spam Quarantine

- Login to Spam Experts as an Email user
- Navigate to Protection in the vertical menu and select Spam quarantine

In this page you can:
- Search for a quarantined message - Use the Query Rules filter at the top of the page to add additional rules to filter mail further
- Empty spam quarantine - Click on the Empty spam quarantine button at the top right of the page
- Perform actions on individual emails:
