Description
Shield is a zero-trust email security solution. Each Shield user has their own individual network of trusted senders that begins building on day one. Over time, users can add more trusted senders to their Trust Network and customize Risk Levels per sender. This article covers mailbox interactions and Shield Portal interactions for senders with existing trust decisions.
Mailbox Interactions
Focused Inbox Actions for Existing Trusted and Silenced Sender Messages
By default, the New Outlook Client is preset with a Focused Inbox. Mail sorts between the Focused and Other tabs within the Inbox. Microsoft provides more information about the Focused Inbox. Below are the drag-and-drop actions, their resulting updated Trust Decision, and their future delivery location.
Although some actions mentioned below specify that no action is taken, any action not listed below should be assumed to result in no change to the trust decision or the message delivery location for future messages.
Right-clicking a message and choosing to Move it to a different folder does not change the trust decision or the delivery location except for the actions listed below.
The Bundled folder mentioned below is available to Shield Pro: Bundler users.

Decisions may also be made via the Trust Network.
Because Shield factors in the sender's trust and insights into the individual message, the Trust Network cannot override moderate or high-risk message delivery locations.
Shield Portal Interactions
Choosing the following actions from within the Shield portal results in the following Trust Network delivery actions:
| Trust Decision | Delivery Selection | Delivery Action |
| Trust | Deliver Immediately | Continue delivering messages from the sender to the Inbox |
| Trust | Bundled | Bundle messages from the sender with other bundled messages; remind the user to check the Bundled folder at set intervals |
| Silence | Send to Junk | Continue receiving messages from the sender to the Junk folder |
| Silence | Send to Jail | Move the message to Jail in the Portal; no further messages from the sender are delivered to the mail client; they go directly to Jail in the Portal |
| Silence | Send to Trash | Continue receiving the sender to the Deleted Items folder (designated as Trash on the Trust Decision page) |
| Silence | Send to Archived | Continue receiving the sender to the Archive folder |
The Bundled folder is available to Shield Pro: Bundler users.
Because Shield factors in the sender's trust and insights into the individual message, the Trust Network cannot override moderate or high-risk message delivery locations.
