Outlook doesn't respect my junk mail settings

[Gordon Hogenson]

I experienced having important mail sent to my junk mail folders. Among mail
that was sent to my junk mail folders were (a) mails from old friends, (b)
mail from my wife (c) mail from a job applicant who mailed to say he was
cancelling his interviews (d) mail from a former Microsoft colleague who is a
technical editor for my book. I've missed important feedback about a book
I'm writing, important business mail about a cancelled interview, and so on.
And all this with automatic junk mail filtering turned OFF! Please, before
we get sued for causing someone to lose a client, lose a job offer, ruin
someone's marraige, etc., fix the filter and fix Outlook so it does NOT throw
important mail away.

Interesting that I have never had any of those issues, especially since I
review my junk mail twice daily to ensure nothing important has been
mislabeled.

But then, I also use SpamBayes along with Outlook for more granular control.
Haven't had a false positive in months and only about 3 spam emails per week
in my in-box.
