Force Junk eMail to run on a selected folder?

[Guest]

Hi,

I've only just puchased outlook 2007 and managed to move all my mail over
from the old mail client.

The problem is its moved over all the spam emails as well, it seems the old
mail client just hide the spam messages but keept them on the inbox.

So now i have an inbox full of spam.

I've been trying to work out how to make outlook run the spam filters on a
selected folder but i can't find out how to do it anywhere??

So i need to run the junk email filters on emails which are already in my
inbox..

Anyone know how to do this???

Thanks

You might want to tell which method you used to transfer your emails. Sounds
like you went wrong there.

I converted thunderbirds mbox into emls then just copied the eml's in..

The mbox's and eml's have been deleted.

So there is no way you can force the spam checking to run on prevrious
messages?

No, the Junk Email filter works when the messages are being received.
