MSN Hotmail, the free Web-based mail service, has been modified to allow for greater end-user control over spammers. MSN South Africa has announced the addition of features which aid mail filtering on various levels.
The MSN Hotmail Junk Filter offers consumers options to determine the level of protection they prefer. The filtering levels are available on low, high and exclusive, and use the latest techniques to identify and eliminate spam. Those who select the exclusive level will only receive e-mail from people listed in their address book.
"MSN South Africa is determined to offer customers a better way to handle their e-mail and to protect themselves from junk e-mail," explains Ashika Ramgovind, country manager, MSN South Africa. "These great improvements will help ensure that users have a superior experience with Hotmail."
Despite the new controls, there is still the chance that desired mail could be treated as spam. However, users have control over their Junk Mail Folder, and can manually select to have desired mail moved back to the inbox.
The new MSN Hotmail provides one-click access to tools such as the Junk Mail Filter and inbox management options. Hotmail is now available in 12 languages including the latest additions of Swedish and Dutch.
