    how to disable Junk Email

    I use another spam filter, and want to eliminate the Windows Mail Junk Email
    function. I have set the Tools\Junk Email options setting to No Automatic
    Filtering, and have manually deleted both the Safe Sender and Blocked lists
    and any message rule that might pertain. But emails keep being sent to the
    Junk Email folder.

    How do I prevent this?



    Thanks.

    Turn of the Phishing one as well?

    I think there are still a few bugs left in it.

    Hi David,

    Be careful with using a 3rd party filter with Windows Mail. They have been known to corrupt Windows Mail leaving stuck undeletable messages in the mailbox folders. You might think about using another email program if you want to use the other filter. You can take a look here for a couple of options, and for how to get rid of a stuck message just in case.
