Barring the uncertainty surrounding use of Outlook or Outlook Express as mentioned in two separate posts and the subject..
OE does not have a local junk filter, prior to delivery it relies on the web based Hotmail Junk filter to deliver what it deems as
'junk to the Junk folder, the balance, unless rules within the web client are established are delivered to the Inbox.
Outlook's Junk Mail filter, unlike OE, works on all accounts in the same Outlook user profile(Exchange Server, Http[Hotmail], Pop3,
Imap, Outlook Connector for MSN[hotmail/msn/live.com], and Outlook Connector for IBM[Lotus Domino]). In the case of your Hotmail
account, the web filter takes precedent until delivery to Outlook, once delivered, OL's Junk Filter then takes it turn.
- This peculiarity(feature) may be most noticeable[if the Hotmail account is the default and only account or after a send/receive
when the Hotmail inbox is opened] where messages not previously meeting the web filter criteria but unacceptable to Outlook are
subsequently moved to the Hotmail Junk folder(Note: you may or may not get a chance to click on one and read it in the OL preview
pane).
Which email client are you using ? OE or OL ?
