Junk Mail Filter
 

This is a repost that did not produce a responsive answer the first time.

I recently reloaded XP and Office 2003 on my computer. My email is a POP3
account. I also use Norton Antispam for spam.

Before reloading everything there were no messages going into the Junk Mail
folder. Now
there are. Some of the messages in the Junk Mail folder have even been
marked by Norton as spam. I have set Outlook to "No Automatic Filtering"
but message are still being put in that folder. Norton still will put some
messages into the Norton Antispam folder also. Note I am not getting false
positives or negatives.

I do not want to have to look at two different folder to check for
spam\junk. How can I get Outlook to only allow Norton to filter junk mail
and not use the Junk Mail folder? What would happen if I deleted the Junk
Mail folder?

TIA
Walter

Walter,

You have the cart before the horse. Let Office 2003, with all updates
applied and just a few Rules, do the junk mail filtering. Then uninstall
Norton.

Next to grandchildren, Norton products cause more "house calls" by our
computer club volunteers than viruses. Their ads in the various media read
like a lot of spam that I receive. They always use the word "protect" in the
ads.

It's interesting, when you visit their site, wanting to read about such
things as "Enabling and disabling Ad Blocking and Pop-up Window Blocking"
they brazenly assume that you want to print the page if you click on it and
open your printer dialog box! Hit the back button and it happens again!!!
