Manage your email inbox with the junk and quarantine filters.
Now.
The University’s Microsoft Office 365 setup uses two types of filters to protect you from potentially dangerous emails: the junk and quarantine filters. The junk filter isolates suspected spam email and holds them in a folder in your inbox. Messages that have been quarantined are prevented from going to your inbox and may be reviewed at miami.edu/quarantine. However, you may elect to have a daily digest of quarantined messages sent to your inbox at miami.edu/spamdigest. Learn more about advanced email spam protection.
