Outlook provides help by offering options that allow you to set a level of
junk email
protection or add names to a trusted sender list.
- Choose Tools --> Options to display the options dialog
box.
- On the Preferences tab, in the Email section, click
Junk E-mail to display the dialog box.
- Customize the Junk email options:
- Use the Options tab to select the level of junk email protection you want and whether or not you want the junk mail deleted or moved to your Junk E-mail folder. "Low", which moves the most obvious junk email to the Junk E-mail folder, is the default setting.
- Use the Safe Senders tab to add, edit, remove, import
or export mail addresses or domain names to ensure that email messages
that you receive from these addresses will never be treated as junk email.
Note: You must add "@musc.edu" to this list to make sure you get mail from all MUSC IMAP-system senders. - Use the Safe Recipients tab to add, edit, remove, import or export email addresses or domain names to ensure that email messages that you send to these addresses will never be treated as junk email.
- Use the Blocked Senders tab to add, edit, remove, import
or export email addresses or domain names to ensure that email messages
sent by these addresses will always be treated as junk email.
- Click OK to close the Junk E-mail options and options
dialog boxes.
Note: Electronic junk email or spam is usually unsolicited email advertising for some product sent to a mailing list or newsgroup. It not only wastes people's time, it also takes up a lot of network space. Just as it is impossible to prevent junk email from arriving in your physical mailbox, it is difficult to totally prevent electronic junk email.
