Windows Mail keeps flagging a legitimate email as phishing. The error
message I keep getting is "Windows thinks this a suspicious and has blocked
it. Images and links have been blocked for your safety. If you think this
mail is not fradulent, use the unblock button to access it". I would unblock
it and add it to the safe senders list and it still gets flagged as phishing.
Does anyone know why this keeps happening?

I'm having the same problem. No matter how many times I unblock the
particular sender of a message that gets sent by e-mail from a local weather
notification service, and add it to the safe senders list, Windows Mail keeps
blocking it. How do I turn that off? Did you ever get a response from
anyone on this?

Click on Tools, then Junk E-mail Options, then Safe Senders. If that
sender's address is not on the list, add it, then click Apply. Click on
Blocked Senders. If that sender's address is on the list, or even just
the part after @, click on it , then Remove, then any approvals
needed, then Apply. Click on OK.

This doesn't always work, though, if the sender puts your address
on the Bcc: line instead of the To: line or the Cc: line.

Thanks for that tip. I've added the domain name to the approved list also. I
noticed the last tab in Junk E-mail options is to stop being notified of
phising mail. If this doesn't work, I'll chose that option next. Funny, but
the real phising emails aren't being flagged, just the one email that I get
three or four times a week.

Windows Mail's ability to identify and move spam emails to the spam folder
is the strongest feature I've found yet in Vista. It's at least 99 percent
effective and correct. Of course, I still review them before the final delete
since it does redirect a good email on occasion. But this feature is much
more reliable than any third part software I ever used on XP.
