I'm getting spam again

All of a sudden, I'm getting bombarded by spam email solicitations that used
to get caught by Outlook's spam checker. I have auto-updates going. I
checked all the settings I know to check and everything looks okay. Should I
re-install something?
thanks!

It's a cat & mouse thing. Do the messages get caught when you set the level
a bit higher?

I have my level of Junk email protection set to "high" on the Junk Email
Options screen. That used to catch everything just fine. I wonder what I
did....
Best,
Kevin

I just checked-- now nothing is going into my Spam folder now-- but I can't
find anything wrong with my settings....

I ran the "Detect and Repair" from the Help menu and it seems to have fixed it.
