How can I get Outlook 2003 (IMAP) to automatically move Junk-email to the junk folder ?
I am using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP SP2. My email account is IMAP
to UNIX. I get hundreds of SPAM message per day. The Junk E-mail filter built into Outlook works reasonably well, but it doesn't seem to run automatically. If I manually click on the message header in my Inbox, then Outlook moves a copy to the Junk e-mail folder and strikes a line through the message in my inbox, so that purge will remove it. This happens because I have selected "High" under Tools-Options-Junk E-mail- Options. That's all well and good, but I can't click on hundreds of email per day. How can I get Outlook 2003 to AUTOMATICALLY examine each incoming email and send it to the Junk E-mail folder??? From what I have read, there WAS a rule option in Outlook 2002 called "suspected to be Junk e-mail" to move junk email to a folder, but that rule choice seems to be gone now in Outlook 2003. I hope someone has an idea as I've been scanning the internet for hours to no avail. Thanks! Larry |

How can I get Outlook 2003 (IMAP) to automatically move Junk-email to the junk folder ?
Let me add one more interesting thing. If I turn off all my rule,
then Junk e-mail DOES automatically go into the Junk e-mail folder. However, I have only one rule. That rule says that on all incoming email through the IMAP account, move it to folder inbox_imap. The inbox_imap folder is in my UNIX home directory, and of course the Inbox folder is mounted from the server and is under /var/mail/ mylogin. So the rule has the effect of moving all incoming email from thr server to my local machine under my home directory. I thought Outlook 2003 handled all Junk e-mail processing before any rules. Therefore, I don't know why if I turn on the rule, then all email, including JUNK, ends up in inbox_imap. If I turn off the rule, junk e-mail processing does run and in the Inbox spam is striked out. How can I have the junk e-mail get thrown into the junk e-mail folder and still have my new valid messages get moved into inbox_imap automatically? I'm afraid I may be forced to leave my rule off all the time, and run it manually many times a day. I hope someone has an answer... Thanks, Larry |
