Duplicated Junk Mail?!

[Steven S. Wolf]

I have setup my Windows Mail to have a lot of "blocked" addresses & domains.

But I end up with a copy of every junk item in both my inbox, and my junk
folder.

So it effectively is absolutely worthless.

Does anyone know how to get Windows Mail to MOVE the junk into junk, rather
than copy it?!

Duh!

What kind of rules have you set up to make it junk? Most of us
rely on Microsoft's rules to make it junk, and set up our own
rules to say what to delete instead of what to treat as junk.

To set up a rule to treat anything from a certain address or
domain as junk, click on Tools, then Junk E-mail Options,
then Blocked Senders, then add any addresses or domains
you want to treat as sending only junk. Many junk mail
senders use incorrect and constantly changing return
addresses, so such junk gets past this filter. After you add
any new addresses or domains you want on the list, click
on Apply, then OK.

Unfortunately, I think that my mail client has "glitched".

No matter what I put the Junk Main setting to (none, low, medium, high), the
behavior is the same.

I Have a long list of "blocked" and "white-listed" addresses. But when a
message comes in that is on my blocked list, it is duplicated - one copy goes
to Junk folder, one remains in in-box.

I cannot believe that this behavior is intentional. More likely, something
about the registry is messed up for this client (things work ok at the
office, same email accounts, same configuration, just works right there).

I was hoping someone might have seen this and have a fix.

Thanks

You might try Microsoft's newer email program, Window Live Mail"
