Spam Folder not receiving Emails

twinkle662009

In my Outlook i have added a folder to move all my spam into. Some of the spam i use, but the last couple of days i have received no emails at all with spam. I am receiving normal emails to my inbox.

I use the Message Rules in Tools to move everything with "spam" into a separate folder. I have even cancelled this to see if that works.

Any ideas would be great

Thanks in advance

So if I understand correctly, you're complaining that you are no longer receiving any spam?
That must be a first on these boards.

I hear what your saying, :rotfl: but for some reason some emails that i use are titled spam and i need those ones

The chances are that your email provider has put in extra spam controls in, so these emails don't get downloaded in the first place, which is good.

If legitimate email is getting flagged up as spam, then lower the spam filtering level with your email account or ISP. Put the email addresses of friends and family onto a whitelist/allowed/safe list so they always get through.

OK, i will try that. I have some of the email address in my contact address book but even these dont appear to be getting throught.

Mind you TBH it is nice not deleting hundreds of spam every day :j

thanks for your time
