Improved message selection

In Webmail, you can now select multiple messages by using the Shift key while clicking the messages, instead of having to check each checkbox individually. You can click anywhere in the message list rows (except for the actual links) to select a message.

The messages can then be e.g. moved to a folder by dragging one of the subject strings to the desired folder.

This makes it a lot easier to move or delete many messages at a time!

Major spam filter upgrade

We have performed a major upgrade of the main Runbox spam filter (SpamAssassin) to the most recent version (3.3.1) and it’s running a fresh spam rule set that’s more aggressive towards spam.

We recommend that you check your spam folders for any misclassified messages during the next few days, and correct your trainable spam filter (if activated on the Filter page) using the “Not spam” link if necessary.

Furthermore, we have implemented a global filter that rejects messages that are virtually guaranteed to be spam (i.e. if the SpamAssassin score is 7 or more). This will significantly decrease the amount of spam that passes through to the user-level spam filters, and decrease the load on practically all levels of the system.

No email will be lost as a consequence of this change — in the very unlikely eventuality that a legitimate message is rejected, the sending server will be notified that the message was believed to be spam so that the sender can try again.

For more information about how Runbox fights spam, see our Anti-spam section.
