Have Email Filter Work in the Junk Mail Folder Also

[Guest]

There are certain words and such that get filtered over to my junk mail
folder before the rules I have set up are applied. I still end up having to
delete them. Have I missed something?

If not, why not allow the filtering option to also work in Junk Mail folder.

In Outlook 2003 SP1 or higher first Junk E-mail get filtered. When the item
is not classified as Junk rules will be executed against that message. I
don't see what your manual action in the Junk E-mail is/would be and why you
want to have rules set to Junk E-mail for that instead.

I don't want to delete automatically everything that is put in my junk mail
only the stuff that has already been identified to be deleted. When mail
arrives in my in folder, junk mail filter appears to take priority and emails
are moved there before my rules are applied. Thus an email from spammer
sending me "Sexual health" material is identified as junk mail, before my
filter, which has been told to delete this acts, it is put in junk mail and
thus I have to deal with it.

I would prefer filter to delete - then junk mail to identify what is left
over and shift - then deal with what is left over. Or be able to apply the
filter to the junk mail folder so I don't have to deal with what I have
already identified to delete.

Prior to SP1, that's how Outlook 2003 worked. However, many people didn't
like junk mail being moved to their working folders by the rules they had
set up (because then the Junk E-mail filter wouldn't see it and move it to
the Junk E-mail folder). Enough of these people complained that Microsoft
changed it. As is Microsoft's wont, however, instead of adding an option so
that the user could choose, they decided to piss off the people who didn't
want it working that way.
