Junkmail in Outlook - URGENT

[Billy of Arabia]

I am really at wits end. I am still getting Junkmail directly into my
Outlook 2003 Inbox. I followed Milly Staples' advice, uninstalled the last
Junkmail Filter update, re-installed it, it works for about a day and the
junkmail goes back to my Inbox. I have uninstalled it a few times now,
re-installed it and it keeps on doing the same thing.

Is this issue being addressed by MS - this is really bad and seriously
effects my productivity.

My other advice is to install SpamBayes from Sourceforge.net - no spam filter is 100% effective but I have found the combination of Outlook's spam filter and SpamBayes to be the most effective combination for combatting 99.999% of spam.

Thanks Milly. It certainly helps. Spambayes is not perfect but it has made
my life a bit easier including being able to take a goup of mails and declare
it as SPAM.

I appreciate your support.

SpamBayes learns over time so your experience will improve as it learns more about what is spam to you. I have used it for several years now and only get perhaps one spam that is not caught per week.
