Fed up receiving junk email? Then, configure the Junk Email Filter!

The Junk Email Filter is designed to catch the most obvious spam and send it to your Junk Email folder.

The Junk Email Filter analyses each incoming message according to several factors, such as the time when the message was sent, the content and structure of the message to evaluate the message on ‘spamness’. The Junk Email Filter is turned on by default, and the protection level is set to Low. This level is designed to catch the most obvious spam. You can increase the level of protection by changing it.

Follow the following steps if you want to reduce the amount of junk email:

1. In Microsoft Outlook from the Menu bar, go to Tools and choose Options.
2. On the Preferences tab, click Junk Mail.
3. Under Options tab select the level of protection:

• High – If you receive a large number of junk email messages, but do not wish to restrict the messages you see to only those from senders on your safe lists, select this option. However, you should periodically review messages moved to the Junk Email folder, because some legitimate messages may be moved there as well.
• Safe Lists Only – If you receive a large number of email messages, you can alternatively select this option, which will cause any email message that is sent neither from someone on your Safe Senders List nor to a mailing list on your Safe Recipients List to be treated as junk.
