How do I move spam into another folder using MS Outlook?
Issue
A large amount of Email coming in is marked as ***SPAM*** by your spam filter. How can I move it to another folder to view later.
Solution
You need to create a rule, follow these steps:
- From the Tools menu select Rules Wizard...
- Select the New... button
- Select "Check messages when they arrive" and select the Next button
- Next, check off the option "with specific Words in the subject"
- Select the "specific words" hyperlink below
- In the "Specify words or phrases to search for the subject" text field, enter ***SPAM*** (with no spaces)
- Press the OK button to continue
- Select the Next button
- Next, check off the option "move it to the specified folder"
- Select the "specified" hyperlink below
- Select the folder and/or create a new folder to place spam Emails.
- Press the OK button to continue
- Skip the "Add any exceptions" section by pressing the button Next
