Why are 90% of my emails marked spam?

10-02-2007

Vista marks everything spam! Is it really necessary to mark each message
individually as spam or safe sender? Is there some way to batch them before
marking them? Probably 50% of the stuff IS spam. I'm using Outlook 2003 in
Vista. I have not yet moved my .pst over to let it know of the 'old stuff'
that is spam.

It not Vista marking everything as spam, it's you email client, in this case Outlook 2003.

To answer you question though, yes, you'll probably have to "re-train" the spam filter anyway, which isn't very good to begin with.

Maybe you should move over to Office 2007?
