Help - Permissions
Espresso uses Permissions to control spam in your mailbox. With Espresso, only approved messages get into your Inbox. Messages are automatically approved from people you know and trust. Using simple rules, you decide which email messages you want to see. Unknown senders are asked to identify themselves before their message is delivered. Legitimate senders will respond to this inquiry, but spammers cannot and will not respond. Espresso does not use filters to eliminate spam. Nor does it rely on techniques like deep header analysis, anti-spoofing, heuristics, statistical analysis, Bayesian filters, or image decoding. It doesn't have to! Espresso is a sophisticated, permissions-based email client that blocks 100% of unwanted email as you have defined it. Espresso delivers all the email you want to read and blocks all the email you don't want. It's that simple. Addresses Tab Anytime you send an email to someone new, Espresso adds them to this list. So you're always up-to-date and assured to receive any email sent back to you. Espresso uses the simple rule (common sense really) that realizes if you send someone an email you most probably want to hear back form them. Spammers rarely use legitimate email addresses. And if they do, it certainly would not be their own. Espresso doesn't look for addresses it doesn't recognize to determine if the message is spam. It looks for addresses from known and trusted senders to determine if this is an email you want to read.
Add As a general rule, you do not want to enter your own address. Sometimes spammers will try to disguise their messages by using your own address as the sender. Although, Espresso looks for this type of fraud, some spam may get into your inbox if you include your own address. Delete Import Contacts Before updating the list, Espresso will check to ensure the address isn't already in the list.  Domains Tab Quite often this would be your work domain address, or the domain of other companies you do business with. It could be the domain of websites you visit often and order product from, websites which send you newsletters you want to read. This is a very powerful feature of Espresso and saves you from having to enter each and every email address you regularly correspond with. Add It is best to enter unique ISP domain addresses here only. Do not enter common domains, such as, "aol.com" or "yahoo.com" as these domains are commonly used by spammers. Delete Import Before updating the list, Espresso will check to ensure the domain isn't already in the list. Keywords Tab At a very basic level, most people correspond to you on a personal level and will include you first name somewhere near the beginning of their message. The presence of your first name indicates that the message is from someone you probably know and want to read. This email message will go directly to your Inbox. It's that simple! As another example, suppose you have an interest in railroads. If the email message contains the words "railroad" or "train" you would want to read it. Using those words in your keywords list will ensure those messages go directly to your Inbox! Perhaps your keyword list would contain words like "flower" or "garden", if that was your interest. Espresso will search through the subject line, plain text and HTML bodies for the keywords listed. Do not include any words that are in your email address. It is always wise not to use your real or full name in your email address to preserve your identity. However, you may not have any control over this if your email address is already set. Add Delete Import Before updating the list, Espresso will check to ensure the keyword isn't already in the list. Blacklist Tab The blacklist will work with both full email addresses or domain names. Be careful not to add addresses from unknown senders in your junk mail folder. Many of these addresses may not be legitimate and you'll end up with a blacklist full of non-existent addresses. Add Delete Import Before updating the list, Espresso will check to ensure the address or domain isn't already in the list. Settings Tab Use permissions to filter junk messages Add outgoing recipients to permissions list Send Permission Notice to unknown senders Once you're comfortable that your lists are in good shape, you may want to uncheck this option as all your known senders are listed. This is up to you. You define how you want to manage your mailbox. Be aware that critics of permission-based, email management (also known as challenge/response) are concerned that challenging spammers to response only cycles more undelivered email through the internet. However, you have a right to know who is sending you email. Whether you send a permission notice or not, spammers are still going to keep doing what they do. The only way spammers will stop, is if they can't get through. Permission-based email is the only way to stop spammers cold. It is common practice now for websites to send you an email verification notice when you sign up for an account, or newsletter, or to participate in a newsgroup, or whatever. Your email address will not be approved until you reply back or respond in some other way. It is not unreasonable for you to manage your Inbox the same way. Espresso keeps track of permission notices pending verification and will not send another notice to the same address while the original address is still pending. This feature is enabled within Espresso to reduce the amount of unnecessary email messages sent through the internet. If an address is verified, then all emails with that address in the junk folder will be moved to the Inbox. Automatically delete delivery failures Only filter obvious junk Delete junk mail after Delete junk mail immediately Mark junk messages as read Permanently delete junk mail Compact mailbox after deleting Notice Tab Thank you for your recent email, re: some subject here. |
