There may be times that you find your email Spam Filters to be too aggressive or not aggressive enough for your individual preferences. You have a large amount of control over how incoming Spam is handled by your email account. You can modify your Spam Filtering preferences by following the steps below:

1.  Logon to your web-based mail at https://smartermail.scarabmedia.com.
2.  Click on the SETTINGS icon in the left-hand pane (as shown below)

4.  Click on SPAM FILTERING (as shown below)
5.  Select “Override spam settings for this account” (as shown below)

6.  Click on the ACTIONS tab in the right-hand pane (as shown below)
7.  For Low Probability of Being Spam click the down arrow under ACTION and select how you want these scored emails to be handled. You can select “No Action” to have them go directly to your Inbox,  “Add Text to Subject” to have them delivered to your Inbox but with a modified Subject letting you know they may be Junk E-Mail, “Move to Junk E-Mail Folder” to have them quarantined, or “Delete Message” to have the message removed entirely upon receipt.
8.  Repeat Step 7 for Medium Probability of Spam.
9.  Repeat Step 7 for High Probability of Spam.
10. Click on the [SAVE] button at the top of the screen to commit your changes.

How it works

Configuring 2-Step Authentication

1. 1. Select Recovery Email Address from the Verification Methods dropdown.
   2. Enter and confirm the Recovery Email Address that will be used to retrieve the verification code. (This email address will automatically be used as the Recovery Email Address used for resetting your account password as well.)
   3. Click Next.
   4. Wait a moment for the verification code to be emailed. Then enter the 6-digit verification code.
   5. Click Check to confirm the verification code and complete the 2-Step Authentication setup.

1. 1. Install an authenticator app, such as Google or Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, or LastPass on your phone or computer. (In this article, we’ll demonstrate how to set up 2-Step Authentication using Google Authenticator on your mobile device.)
   2. Select Authenticator App from the Verification Methods dropdown.
   3. Enter and confirm a Recovery Email Address that will be used as an alternative method to retrieve the verification code. If your authenticator app is not accessible, the verification code will be sent to this address instead. (This email address will automatically be used as the Recovery Email Address used for resetting your account password as well.)
   4. Click Next. A QR code will appear on the next page.
   5. Open the Google Authenticator app. Click “BEGIN SETUP” or use the plus (+) icon to add a new token.
   6. Select Scan QR Code and use your phone’s camera to scan the code that’s displayed in your webmail. A new token will be added to Google Authenticator.
   7. Enter the token’s 6-digit code into the field in your webmail.
   8. (If you can’t scan the QR code, click on “Can’t scan the QR code?” in your webmail. In the Authenticator app, choose to create a new token by Manual entry. In the Account field, enter a token descriptor, such as the username of your account. In the Key field, type in the secret key that’s displayed in the webmail. Then enter the token’s 6-digit code into your webmail.)
   9. Click Check to confirm the verification code and complete the 2-Step Authentication setup.

Short answer: Absolutely not!

Long answer: You can use any email client of your choosing to access your email using either POP3 or IMAP. The Web-based Mail is just another way you can check your mail (especially if you are away from your preferred device). You can also choose to access your email using your smartphone if you wish. You are not limited to using the Web-based Mail to retrieve your email.

Note: To manage email for your domain or make changes to your account, you would need to either do this from the Web-based Mail, or you can contact us at support@scarabmedia.com and have us make the change for you.

Almost all Mail Providers offering webmail allow you to remotely retrieve email from other external accounts. If you prefer using your existing webmail, such as Google, Outlook.com, or Yahoo! Mail) you can configure that account to retrieve your email from your email account(s) hosted at AHN/ProjectA/Scarab Media.

Simple login to your preferred wemail account and follow the appropriate instructions below:

• For GMail or Google Apps use the Accounts and Import instructions.
• For Outlook.com use the Add a POP Account to Outlook instructions.
• For Yahoo! Mail use the Add a POP Account to Yahoo! Mail instructions.
• For all other Mail Providers, please consult their Knowledge Base for FAQ for assistance on how to retrieve email from a remote POP Account.

In all cases the settings you will need are below:

POP3/IMAP Server: smartermail.scarabmedia.com
Port: 110 (for POP3) or 143 (for IMAP)
Use TLS: Yes
Username: Your full email address (i.e., yourname@yourdomain.com)
Password: The password for your account.

Many services will also allow you to remotely send email using their account. In such cases the settings are precisely the same as for retrieving mail, the only difference would be the Port which would be 587.

If you need a temporary email address, especially when signing up for services that will probably sell your email address to spammers, it is easy to do thanks to Plus Addressing.

Example 1

Assume that your email address is myname@example.com, and you want to sign up for a newsletter called ACME News. Furthermore, you want that newsletter (and any spam that they may sign you up for) to go to a folder in your email called “ACME”. All you have to do is sign up for the newsletter with the plus address “myname+ACME@example.com”. Note: When writing the plus address, make sure the folder name is listed after the username but before the @example.com.

When the newsletter gets delivered to your email, it will automatically be placed in an ACME folder, which will be created automatically if it does not already exist. No additional steps are required. The whole process is automatic once you enable the feature.

Example 2

If you include the “/” character in your plus address, you can automatically create sub-folders. For example, the plus address myname+Newsletters/ACME@example.com will create a folder called Newsletters, then create an ACME folder under it, and drop the newsletter (and any spam that they may sign you up for) into the ACME folder.

As an added bonus, you can connect to folders in your email using POP3 by using plus addressed emails. The example above, when input into your POP email client as your login name, will return the contents of that folder.

Changing your email password is pretty simple. Just follow the step-by-step instructions with screenshots below to change your password.

1.  Sign-in to your web-based email at http://smartermail.scarabmedia.com using your email address and your old password.

2.  If this is the first time that you have logged in to your web-based mail you may be prompted for your Time Zone, Country, and Postal Code so that your mail is displayed in local time (otherwise skip to Step 4). Select your Time Zone and Country and enter your Postal Code and click on the [NEXT] button.

3.  You may then be prompted for an Account Recovery Email Address. This address is used in the event that you forget your password and want a Password Recovery email sent to your backup address. If you have a personal account (i.e. GMail, Yahoo!, Hotmail, etc) that you also use, enter it here and click on the [FINISH] button.

4.  At the main screen of your web-based mail, click on the SETTINGS (Gear) icon in the left-hand pane.

5.  Enter your new password into the “New Password” and “Confirm Password” fields. Click on the [SAVE] button at the top of the screen when you are done.

Please note the minimum requirements for a new password:

• 8 or more characters (12 or more recommended)
• Mixed-Case (UPPER and lower case letters)
• At least one number
• At least one symbol (i.e. ` ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) – _ = + [ { } ] \ | < , . > / ? ; : ‘ “)
• Must not contain your User Name

6.  If you are using an email client (such as Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or a tablet or smartphone) to retrieve your mail, you will have to update your email password there as well after changing it in your web-based mail.
