Microsoft Outlook - Block unwanted mail

Follow

As part of its filtering criteria, the Outlook Junk Email Filter checks message senders against lists of email addresses and Internet domains designated either as safe or to be blocked. You can customize the filter to block or allow senders or different message types.

 

Block a sender

When you no longer want to see messages from someone, you can block a sender.

  • Right-click a message from the sender you want to block, and then click Junk > Block Sender.

Block Sender command in the message list

The blocked person can still send you mail, but if anything from his or her email address makes it to your email account, it’s immediately moved to the Junk Email folder. Future messages from this sender will go to your Junk Email folder or End-User Quarantineif enabled by your administrator.

It’s a good idea to periodically review email messages identified as junk to make sure you’re not missing important messages.

If you later decide you want to unblock a sender, use Junk Email Filters to change which messages you see.
