Moving Files To Outlooks Junk Mail Folder.
Outlook has the ability to move a lot of the spam junk email we encounter
in our emails nowadays. I thought it would be handy to write up something
about this and how to move those junk emails that come in that the normal
outlook junk removal tool misses. What this technique does is that every
time you move a junk email into your junk folder using the outlook junk
removal tool you add the following components into a little data base which
in future will monitor this address and domain name contained within the
spam email.
For example, if I receive an email such as the following;
joebloggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Both the name "Joebloggs and the domain name, "@betterbuys.com" will be
moved into the junk folder and outlook will monitor for both these names in
future. If it encounters such an address in the future then it will
automatically remove it from your inbox. Have no worries that you might lose
mails because of this because you can always go into the junk mail folder
from time to time and browse through it for to check for any mails that
might not have been junk.
Step 1
While in your Inbox, Place cursor on closed e-mail
Step 2
Press your application key (third key to right of spacebar)
A Context Menu will appear listing the following:

Step 3
Select Junk E-Mail Submenu, which has been marked above with a star.
Step 4
Right arrow here to open the Submenu and then down arrow to get the
following list:
* Add Sender to Blocked Senders List
Add Sender to Safe Senders List
Add Sender's Domain (@example.com) to Safe Senders List
Add Recipient to Safe Recipients List
Mark as Not Junk...
Junk E-mail Options...
Step 5
Select Add Senders to Blocked Senders List
Step 6
Press the Enter key on this
Step 7
You will get the following message:
Microsoft Office Outlook
The sender of the selected message has been
added to your Blocked Senders List, and the
message has been moved to the Junk E-mail
folder.
OK
Step 8
Just Enter now on the Ok Button
Note: It is necessary to go into your Junk e-mail folder from time to time
and delete the items in there.
Extra note: should you go into the junk email folder and find that a friends
email or some important email that you don't class as junk is in there then
following the steps outlined above but instead of choosing "add sender to
blocked email" choose "add sender to safe senders email". This action will
prevent outlook from adding those emails into the junk mail folder in future
and instead let them come into the main Inbox.
Paul.
