How do I manage spam and junk mail?
Managing spam and junk mail in Microsoft Outlook is an essential practice for maintaining a clean and organized inbox. The application offers several features and settings to help users effectively deal with unwanted emails.
First, it is important to make use of the Junk Email Filter, which is designed to automatically move suspected junk mail to a designated folder. Users can adjust the filter settings to different levels of protection, ranging from low to high, depending on their preferences. This can be accessed through the "Home" tab by selecting "Junk" and then "Junk E-mail Options."
Furthermore, users can manually mark specific emails as junk. This can be accomplished by right-clicking on an email and selecting "Junk" followed by "Block Sender." Doing this helps to train the filtering system and prevents future messages from that sender.
It is also advisable to regularly review the Junk Email folder to ensure that no important emails are mistakenly categorized as junk. If an important email is found in the Junk folder, it can be moved back to the inbox by right-clicking on it and selecting "Not Junk."
Lastly, to further minimize spam, users should be cautious when sharing their email address online and consider using unique email addresses for different purposes. More information regarding these features can be found on the current web page dedicated to Microsoft Outlook support.
