The list of terms that Outlook uses to filter suspected junk/adult content e-mail messages can be found in a file called Filters.txt. From your Inbox, click on the Organize button in the tool bar.
Then click on Junk E-Mail.
From here you can choose to have Outlook either color suspected junk mail/adult content or move it to a different folder (such as "junkmail" or straight to your "deleted items" folder). If you want to just have Outlook color suspected junk/adult content mail just click "turn on" and you're done. If you would like to move suspected e-mail to a folder, change "color" to "move".
This gives you the option to select the folder that Outlook will move suspected e-mail You may select your "deleted items" folder, but be aware that Outlook filters by the existence of keywords and some legitimate e-mail could be accidentally deleted if it contains these keywords.
Then just click "Turn on" and you're done. If you would like to add a sender to your junk/adult content list, simply right-click on the message and select "Junk E-mail" and then the appropriate category. |
