How to disable phishing filter

More than hakf of the messages I get are being picked up as suspected
phishing, and I have to manually go through and unblock them. This is a huge
pain the the neck. I can't find any advice on how to change settings or turn
it off. Is there a way?

Re: How to disable phishing filter

Turn the phishing block off:
Tools, Junk E-mail Options, Phishing...

Gary,

There's no way I can thank you enough, I can't tell you how much I
appreciate it. So simple, yet so hard to find.

Re: How to disable phishing filter

Thank you...thank you...thank you. Another thing I couldn't do was 'Unblock'
it, or forward it. I received a fraudulent email ('phishing' email)
supposedly from TD Bank, but I couldn't forward it to the appropriate TD Bank
phishing site, nor could I copy/paste the email, the only thing that happened
when I clicked 'forward' was that it went into an 'application'. I sent it
anyway to the TD anti-phising and then deleted it. Any help with this for
future reference?

Re: How to disable phishing filter

Sorry, I don't know why the "Unblock" function did not work for you.
