  How to Configure your Outlook Junkmail Filter for Strong Spam Filtering.
 

   1. Open Outlook
   2. Click on Tools
   3. Click on Options
   4. Click on the Junkmail filter tab

Junkmail Options

   5. For better filtering Change the Default “Low” to “High”
   6. Check your Safe Senders and Blocked Senders tabs to see which e-mail addresses are safe or blocked

 
 

How to add unwanted Junkmail to the Blocked Senders List:

1. In your Inbox, click on the junkmail once when it first appears.
2. Click the Actions tab
3. Choose the Junkmail drop down
4. Choose Add Sender to Blocked Senders List

Now Drag the junk e-mail into the Junkmail folder.

Follow the above steps for every piece of spam that comes into your inbox in order to built up a junkmail database in the blocked senders list. After a few weeks about 95% of your junkmail should be blocked or automatically go into the junkmail folder. I generally don’t empty my junkmail folder until it reaches about 5000 cases of junkmail, because this folder also acts as a junkmail database.
