Full Message Header or Internet Headers as they are often called is the section of an email that most email applications hide from a user but are very useful for technical teams in working out what went wrong in email process or how an email made its way from one user to another.
Below is a quick guide on how to retrieve your mail headers dependent on your mail system:
Microsoft Outlook:
Either right click on the message and select ‘message options’ or open the message by double clicking on it and then select message options, from the tools menu or the Ribbon as below:
Outlook Message ribbon
From message options copy all of the info in the Internet headers section, as highlighted below copy and paste that into an email to send to us.
Copy the text from the box highlighted above
Thunderbird:
If you are using Thunderbird simply open the message and select message source from the view menu as seen below. Pressing Control and U may also work dependent on the version of Thunderbird you are using. When the message source window opens please copy and past all of the text into an email to send to us.

Moving mail to Junk email with Kerio
Mar 25th
If some spam does hit your in box please please put it into the “Junk Email” folder (and not a Junk or spam folder) and THEN delete it. This helps the Spam filters learn from your actions. More instructions and guidance below:
Outlook and Webmail users please use the Kerio Outlook connector Tool bar:
Kerio outlook connector tool bar
Simply highlight the message and Click the ’spam’ button as shown above.
If a message has been delivered to your ‘Junk Email’ folder and it is not junk please hit the not spam button as shown below:
Kerio Outlook Connector Tool bar
Thunderbird and other mail applications:
Simply drag the message to the “Junk Email” folder. Be careful though Thunderbird often creates a “Junk” folder of its own and other applications use a spam folder but the only folder that helps to teach the filters is the “Junk Email folder”
Thunderbird:
Thunderbird two junk folders
You also need to be careful with the Thunderbird Junk Button: 
this will often move spam into the Junk and not the “Junk Email” folder, this can be changed in the junk settings tab of mail account properties window. Right click on the mail account name and select properties.
Please also remember to empty your “Junk Email” folder every now and again.

Remember to make it something secure that no one will guess, no kids, partners or team names and no dictionary words. Random Numbers and letters, remember capitals and lower case combinations are best, or try a sentence like “Why can 1 never remember 555″ you can use spaces. Remember the best passwords are not necessarily easy to remember but they can be if your clever about it. Hackers offten use a dictionary or password list attack to crack passwords, this is where a system tires every word in the dictionary or in a common password list, things like Rangers, Rang3rs or Celtic, C3lt1c will be near the top of that list.
