Inconsistancies in Outlook 2003

Was wondering if anyone else has noted certain
inconsistancies in OL03 with regards to its spam
filtering. I have mine set to only filter based on my Safe
Senders and sites, yet some mail comes thru while others
from the same source goes into the Junk folder. OL seems
to have a mind of its own. I dont mind an occasional Junk
msg getting thru to my Inbox, but its very annoying to
have email from those listed as Safe Senders constantly
end up in the Junk folder. Yes, I have installed the
latest filter update.

On a separate matter, I included a Hotmail account per
published instructions along with my two POP email
accounts in OL03. No errors are being generated, but OL is
NOT retreiving the Hotmail msgs. Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
Spam filter: do you notice if it happens all the time or only when outlook
is first loaded? the rules may not be fully loaded when you begin to down.

Hotmail: are you using an HTTP account or pop3? Something is fishy with the
HTTP accounts, mine won't work in OE.

No it happens all the time. Just not consistantly all the
time. I subscribe to numerous online computer parts
mailing lists and it happens to them from one day to the
next as well as with personal emails from friends using
the same email address. I can receive 3 emails in a row
from the same guy over the course of a couple hours, then
all of a sudden a 4th email from him will go into the Junk
folder.

As far as the Hotmail accts. I have been doing some
experimenting. They DO work, however, OL will not permit
you to include them into the default .pst file that the
normal POP accounts use. Each Hotmail (HTML)account that
is added goes into its own unique .pst file, however, they
appear as addnl. "Personal Folders" at the bottom of the
normal OL folder list. I read somewhere that you could
only use (1) Hotmail acct. in OL. NOPE. I have added (2)so
far and they work fine.

That's normal. Each Hotmail account requires its own .pst file in Outlook.
If you want those messages brought into your default .pst file, you must
copy each message that you want to save.
