Sometimes your BCPS e-mail account
may be added into a SPAM mailing system or unwanted junk mail. Outlook
provides filters that allow you to specify which e-mails are junk
mail and then the program will delete them automatically when any
new mail from that sender is received. The directions below detail
how to accomplish this.
Launch Outlook and open your Inbox.
Click on the OrganizeButton.
If the Organize button does not appear on your screen,
go to the Tools menu and select Organize from
there.
A window pane will slide down from the top. Click on the Junk
E-Mail linkon the left-hand side.
There are two pull-down menus that need to be modified now.
Next to the top bullet change the first pull-down to move
and then the second pull down to Deleted Items.
Finally click the Turn on button to activate the filter.
(see graphic below)
Click on the Organize button to hide the Ways to
Organize window.
When a message appears in your Inbox that you feel is junk
mail click on it once to highlight it.
Go to the Actions menu and select Junk E-Mail then
Add to Junk Senders list. The next time mail comes from
this sender it will be deleted. (see graphic below)
You may see the message below after adding a sender to your
list.
If the Organize button does not appear on your screen,
go to the Tools menu and select Organize from
there.
