# Read Your Overview

The Overview page is the first page you see in the SpamFoo Dashboard. It sums up how SpamFoo handled the mail sent to your mailbox.

## Open the Overview

1. Open the SpamFoo Dashboard. See [Open Your Dashboard](https://help.spamfoo.com/guides/open-dashboard).
2. In the left menu, go to **My Email > Overview**.

The page title is **My Email**, with your email address under it. Everything on the page covers only your own mailbox.

![Overview page titled My Email for user@example.com showing six tiles: Total Scanned, Spam Rate, Busiest Day, Not Spam, Spam, and Phishing, with the Last 30 Days menu in the top right.](https://help.spamfoo.com/images/user-overview-top.png)

## Choose a Time Range

Use the menu in the top right to pick **Last 7 Days**, **Last 30 Days**, or **Last 90 Days**. The tiles, the chart, and the Classifications card all follow your choice. The dashboard remembers it the next time you open the page in the same browser.

## Summary Tiles

The row of tiles at the top shows totals for the time range. Most tiles have a small line under the number that shows the daily values.

| Tile | What It Shows |
| --- | --- |
| **Total Scanned** | How many messages SpamFoo checked for your mailbox. |
| **Caught Rate** | The share of your mail that SpamFoo caught as spam or phishing. |
| **Busiest Day** | The day you got the most mail, and how many messages arrived that day. |
| **Not Spam** | Messages SpamFoo let through as normal mail. |
| **Spam** | Messages SpamFoo marked as spam. |
| **Phishing** | Messages SpamFoo marked as phishing. Phishing is a fake message that tries to trick you into giving up a password, money, or personal details. |

## Mail Trend

The **Mail Trend** chart shows your **Not Spam**, **Spam**, and **Phishing** mail for each day in the time range. Use it to spot days when spam suddenly went up.

## Classifications

The **Classifications** card shows how SpamFoo sorted the mail that wasn't spam. Each row shows a classification, how many messages it got, and its share of your non-spam mail.

- **Primary**, **Updates**, **Transactions**, and **Promotions** are the four Email Classifications. See [The Four Email Classifications](https://help.spamfoo.com/guides/how-classification-works#classifications).
- **Not classified** counts non-spam mail that didn't get a classification.

## Recent Messages

The **Recent Messages** card lists your newest messages. Each row shows:

- **Sender:** the sender's domain, with the date and time under it.
- **Detection Type:** **Not Spam**, **Spam**, or **Phishing**.
- **Classification:** the Email Classification. Spam and phishing show a dash instead.
