Prevent Important Emails from Landing in the Junk Email Folder

The number of spam emails floating on the

internet has reached to astronomical proportions and even governments have been forced to bring in penal regulations to club the menace. However despite earnest efforts from ISPs and local authorities, spam remains a perennial issue for nearly every email user. Given the animosity users have with spam, some of them set the email filtering level to high in Ms Outlook which results in even normal emails getting flagged. In this article we would look at way to prevent important emails from landing in the junk mailbox.

Add Important Email IDs to the Safe Senders List

At the very outset you should try to identify the email IDs you consider as important and add them to the Safe Senders list. By doing so, any emails originating from these emails IDs will not be flagged by spam filters. To add an email ID , you need to first go to the Tools and move down to Options and click on it. In the Options dialog screen, click on the Junk Email button and in the subsequent screen click on the Safe Senders tab. Using the Add button you can add individual email IDs into the list. Incidentally you also get the option to ask Outlook to trust all emails from your contacts. Moreover you can even instruct Outlook to automatically add email ID to which you send out an email into the Safe Senders list.

Remove Third Party Spam Filters

If you are using a third party spam filter add-on in Outlook, it is quite possible that it pushes important emails into the spam folder. While you can try adjusting its settings, removing third party filters is ideally recommended as Outlook provides you with enough inbuilt features to stop spam.

Check up Rules created to Stop Spam

In case you have created rules to block emails matching a certain criteria then you may need to revisit them and check if they are blocking other emails beyond your desired objective. Often when you have created multiple rules, such occurrences are noticed.
