Office 2003 - Outlook Junk Mail Filter Stopped Working
This happened to me a while back and the cause was a recent MS Office
(specific to junk mail) auto update. Once I removed it from my system, the filter began working again. Well it has happened again this week, and I am hesitant to remove the last two updates from 12/3/09: Hotfix for Windows XP (KB976098v2) and Update for Windows XP (KB973687), because neither mentions Outlook or junk mail. Not having an active junkmail filter is very frustrating when you work your business from a home computer...any suggestions! Thanks in advance! |

Try SpamBayes in addition to the Outlook Junk Mail Filter. It works very
well, requires an initial runthrough of your mailbox, is free and open source. Available from http://www.sourceforge.net I have used it for years and between it and Outlook, I get no Junk Mail in my inbox at all! -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.
