How to Reduce Spam in Outlook

Always filter all mails with “spam message here” and add junk folder in the subject to directly spam the mails. You will get such mails regularly. Hence apply this rule in advance.

Tips on how to reduce spam in Outlook:

-Take advantage of the Junk E-mail Filter in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007
-Block pictures in HTML messages that spammers use as Web beacons
-Turn off read and delivery receipts and automatic processing of meeting requests
-Limit the places where you post your e-mail address
-Review the privacy policies of Web sites
-Watch out for check boxes that are already selected
-Don't reply to spam
-If a company uses e-mail messages to ask for personal information, don't respond by sending a message
-Don't contribute to a charity in response to a request sent in e-mail
-Don't forward chain e-mail messages

Most of us receive more email than we can easily handle. And most of us receive spam–unwanted and unsolicited email, usually from people trying to sell things. One way to help with email overload is to keep spam out of your Inbox. Fortunately, Outlook has two built in features that help reduce spam. One is to set up junk mail filtering. The other is to block senders.

Set Up Junk Mail Filtering
Outlook 2007

Go to the Actions menu.
Select Junk Mail.
From the menu that pops out, select Junk Mail Options.
On the Options tab, select the level of filtering you would like. (I keep mine on Low.)
Click OK.
Outlook 2010

Change to the Mail view (if you aren’t there already).
Go to the Home tab of the ribbon.
In the Delete section, click on the Junk button.
From the menu that pops out, select Junk Mail Options.
On the Options tab, select the level of filtering you would like. (I keep mine on Low.)
Click OK.

You are most likely to get it, just develop a rule to filter out all e-mails with "spam message here" in the subject directly to the junk folder. If you notice spam message again then you will simply cram your brain.

Create a separate folder to put in your spam mails directly in the folder. Too many spams in your mails can block your brain. Therefore, delete spam mails for better productivity.

No matter what we do, there will always be spam that will come and the only thing that we could do is filter it in such a way that it goes straight to the junk folder.

A different folder is necessary to get all your spams directly into the folder. The presence of many spams in your mailbox can block the brain of yours. You should delete the spams for a better productivity.

You need to create a different folder in the spam mails. A lot many spams can definitely block your brain as well. You need to delete mails frequently.
