Change the level of protection from spam emails in Outlook Main difference between spam emails and blocking in Outlook How to know if it is spam mail?
In Outlook we can change the level of spam protection in a simple way; in this way we can filter what we consider spam mail to our liking. One thing to keep in mind is that the higher the security level is set, the more likely legitimate messages will end up in the spam folder. A little further down, we will see the options that we have and how to configure them.
Change the level of protection from spam emails in Outlook
The first thing we will have to do is start Outlook and go to the "Start" tab and then we go to the section where "Delete" is located and we will click on the icon with a person and a red circle with a crossed line. A new menu is displayed where we will have to click on Junk email options..
A new dialog box opens where we can configure the spam email options. In the "Options" tab we will have all the levels of protection available.
- No automatic filtering: emails from blocked senders will be moved to the spam folder.
- Low: Move obvious spam email to the SPAM folder.
- High: the vast majority of spam emails can be "caught", although we must take into consideration that it is possible that some normal emails also end up as SPAM; so we would recommend checking your spam folder from time to time just in case.
- Only safe lists: we will only receive emails from people or domains that are on the safe senders list in the inbox.
In this way we can change the level of protection of emails, spam or unwanted very easily; although we must consider that it will have its consequences depending on the selected level..
