Many of you have Outlook 2007 and have a folder called Junk Email. For some strange reason, alot of your good email gets lost in there and you can’t figure out why. It’s because the Junk Email filter in Outlook is horrible. For our OnePlan Managed Service clients, we provide email spam/virus/phishing/junk filter as a part of their monthly service. Their email gets filtered “in the cloud” before it hits their servers. By filtering it “in the cloud” we eliminate up to 90% of the email that is delivered to the client server, thereby reducing wear-and-tear, increasing the potential lifespan of the server, and reducing IT support issues dramatically.

For our clients, we disable the Outlook Junk filter because there is no need for it. Here’s how to do it.

1. In Outlook, go to Tools>Options
2. At the top you will see a button that says “Junk Email”, click it
3. In the popup window, select “No Automatic Filtering”
4. Click OK
5. Click OK

Here is a video showing the steps.
