Junk Filters for IMAP?
One of my accounts is IMAP. Is there a way to use Junk Filters on it?
I want to be able to right-click and add sender to the junk filters list. Lady Dungeness Crabby, but Great Legs! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Not 100% sure but I don't think the Junk Filters work on IMAP accounts

Junk Filters for IMAP?
No; that method is a horrible way to block junk - it only works if someone
keeps reusing the address over and over and few spammers do that. Try the methods here -- although they probably won't work on IMAP. :( http://www.slipstick.com/rules/junkmail.asp -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: wrote in message ...

I have configured Outlook to download entire messages for my IMAP account,
but still no luck. The junk mail filter does not catch anything and also I can't send anything to the junk folder. Anyone has any idea on how to do this?

Outlook's Junk E-mail filter operates on IMAP accounts, provided you configure them to download the entire message. That said, adding sends to the Blocked Senders list does nothing to modify the junk e-mail filter (which can be altered only by Microsoft) and, frankly, is a very poor way to guard agains junk because spammers simply don't reuse sending addresses much. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Junk Filters for IMAP?
I had been having quite a problem with Outlook 2007 and my IMAP account with
respect to junk mail, receiving at times over such messages per day. The junk mail settings did not appear to work correctly. Quite by accident, I found the following settings to make the junk mail filtering work at it should. No other setting combination will work properly. First, select “View”, then “Current View”, then “Hide Messages Marked for Deletion”. Second, select “Tools”, then “Options”, then in the “Preferences” tab select the “Junk e-mail” button and tick off all of the boxes and the “high” setting. Third, “move from the “Preferences” tab in the “Options” window to the “Other” tab, select the “Reading Pane” button and then tick off the “Mark items as read” box. Fourth, select “View”, make sure that “AutoPreview” is not selected, select “Reading Pane” and then select either “Right” or “Bottom”. Believe it or not, my wife had this same general setup except with the reading pane set to “Off” and the junk e-mail filtering did not work correctly! Therefore, the settings must be exactly as I have described to get the junk e-mail filtering to work. " wrote: One of my accounts is IMAP. Is there a way to use Junk Filters on it?

Thanks Stephen. But its a strange "technique" and it does not work. Worse, it
affects the settings of the default MAPI folder too, like the Junk Filter settings.
