The easiest way to access HEX is via the Web App. It is accessible via the web browser on any PC and does not require any setup. From any PC browser surf to the following address and use your full email address - e.g. john.smith@mycompany.com - and password to login.
The first time you use the Web Access environment you will be asked to confirm your critical settings such as your preferred timezone.

6. How to disable Outlook's junk email filtering?to top
Some users have reported that Outlook's inbuilt spam/junk email filter sends too much legitimate email to the Junk Email folder. As Sensical.net runs a very advanced Spam filtering service already, you may wish to disable Outlook's inbuilt filter.
In Outlook 2010 this can be done as follows: Whilst in your Inbox, from the Ribbon at the top of Outlook click Junk (to the left of the Delete button). Select Junk Email Options from the drop down. On the Options tab select No Automatic Filtering. Click OK.
Please note that as this is a client setting, you will need to repeat this on each separate copy of Outlook you use.
