Junk Mail set to High but all SPAM still coming into Inbox

[Juboe]

I have set the Junk Mail at High but ALL of SPAM is still coming into Inbox.
I went to Tools-Options-Junk Mail-High. I have no rules set. I don't know
where to start to troubleshoot it.

Thanks,
Juboe

Do you perhaps have your own name added to the Safe Recipients list?
See http://www.msoutlook.info/question/102

 

[Juboe]

yes. I did have my email somehow in safe recipients list. I thought I would
watch it for a while and it is still not sending obvious SPAM to Junk Mail
folder. Any other suggestions?

 

[Juboe]

Can anyone out there help me??? The SPAM is driving me crazy.
I have changed settings, rebooted, and made sure that my name and email are
not on any of the lists.

Thanks,
Juboe

Brian,
I'm sorry to be back but this is happening again. I went to the Outlook Spy
and went through the steps again but of course, the Junk Mail Folder is not
there as I deleted it the first time. Any thoughts?

Try starting Outlook once with the /resetfolders command switch. Also, I
don't see anywhere where you've stated your Outlook version.

I'm sorry, I should have informed that in the first email. Outlook 2003. I
started Outlook with resetfolders command switch and nothing...
I just loaded Visual Studio Web Developing if that may have anything to do
with it.
Sorry for the trouble!
