Your company has implemented Proofpoint to provide you with comprehensive protection against unwanted and malicious emails. Proofpoint will prevent virus-affected and potential spam emails from reaching your inbox. Typically, you will receive a daily digest of emails that Proofpoint has quarantined, allowing you to choose which emails, if any, to release and deliver. You can also access the Proofpoint interface, a secure web-based user interface that you can use to:
- Manage your user information
- Update your preferences
- Manage your safe and blocked senders
- Search your quarantine
- Access the Emergency Inbox
The user interface usually consists of three tabs: Quarantine, Settings, and Emergency Inbox. A fourth tab, Archive, may also be available if your company has licensed the Email Archive feature.
Some features are not available to all users; you might see additional options as your organization administrator introduces new Proofpoint features.
Quarantine Tab
Use the Logs area to review and take actions on email you sent or received that was potentially harmful and therefore was quarantined rather than delivered.
Settings Tab
Use the Settings tab to set up Proofpoint to meet your needs.
