Microsoft Outlook 2007 Junk Email Filter
Publisher: Microsoft Corporation
The Junk E-mail Filter in Outlook is turned on by default, and the protection level is set to Low. This level is designed to catch only the most obvious junk e-mail messages. You can make the filter more aggressive, but if you do it may catch legitimate messages sometimes. Any message that is caught by the Junk E-mail Filter is moved to a special Junk E-mail folder. You should review messages in the Junk E-mail folder from time to time to make sure that they are not legitimate messages that you want to see.
Note Text in this topic that is marked with a single asterisk () indicates a feature that is introduced with Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 1. Text that is marked with two asterisks () indicates a feature that is introduced with Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 2. Starting with Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 2, messages that are moved to the Junk E-mail folder are automatically converted to plain text format, and any links that they contain are disabled. Any message that you move out of the Junk E-mail folder has its links enabled and the original message format restored, unless the message is considered by the Junk E-mail Filter to contain suspicious links. In that case, even if you move it out of the Junk E-mail folder, the links in the message remain disabled by default. For details, see Block suspicious messages and phishing schemes.
