Get rid of SPAM emails in MS-Outlook

Outlook 2007 provides four different ways of filtering junk mails. Search mails can be annoying especially when you are trying to locate an urgent main. To specify filtering go to tools then to options, here click on Junk Emails. Click on the preference to choose the junk emails option dialogue box. There is no automatic filtering choose the appropriate mode you want. No filtering only filters mails from individuals only, Low mode functions as an adult content filters, high mode can filter but not as effectively as the safe lists only which is an advanced filter.At this stage you should choose the one that suits your situation best then activate it.

Get rid of SPAM emails in MS-Outlook

Spam email will always be there, it'll exist because you have an email address. You'll get spam email only if you have visited a website and enter your email address in the form of subscriptions.

Once you subscribed to them and fall under their trap, you'll then start receiving spam email messages, a lot. If you get to experienced this issue, the only options you can go to is to filter all messages before you it gets into your inbox.

Email client, such as Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook has this feature. You can drag and drop email messages on junk email folder or you can check the box and treat it as a spam.

Here's how it work;
Open Outlook Express
On the list of email messages on your inbox
You'll see a box beside each email address
Put a check on mark on the side of the selected spam email
Once email messages has a check mark beside it, click on the button This is Spam in the upper part, just above on the list of messages.
