Manage non-filtered spams from within your mailbox.

A plug-in may be added to Microsoft Outlook 2003 and 2007 for Windows to automatically notify MailCleaner that spam has been received. This plug-in installs a button in the menu bar that displays the MailCleaner logo and the caption “Unwanted”.

Every adjustment request will be taken into account in the continuous filter adjustment process.

Note: Your system administrator may have blocked the installation of Outlook plug-ins on your computer and should be contacted in such a case.
