I have to look daily at my "Bulk Email" and "Junk E-mail" folders. OK, its complicated in Outlook:

There are two folders of interest: "Bulk Mail" and "Junk E-mail"

Outlook or the service it is hooked to, in my case, webmail.compuserve.com, decides what it thinks is likely junk. I don't know what rules they have for that or how to change that. In any case, that gets sent to "Bulk Mail" folder. I have to check that daily because there is often a legitimate email that gets sent there, even important ones sometimes.

The other, "Junk E-mail" depends on what options and filters I explicitely set up, e.g. email addresses I want to "block". The solutions people have been sending me involve that. Normally I shouldn't have to look at that folder if I have no desire to look at emails from say updates@comingCrash.com that I've put on the "block sender" list.

But for some reason, and it has been a plague to me for years, and I don't know why, but often Outlook or whatever screws this up too often.

I also have certain "Rules" that I created that send certain emails to certain folders like some addresses go to a folder "NonEssential", some to "Financial". Things I don't want to bother to look at every day, but occasionally check. Unfortunately this doesn't work all the time either.

Anyway, I have to look at all my folders weekly for fear of misrouted emails.
