Run Rules Before Junk Mail Filter?Is there anyway to have the Outlook 2003 Rules run before the Junk Mail
Filter? Would be great if you could assign the Junk Mail Filter to run at what location within the list of Rules? If not was this improved in Outlook 2007 ?

In fact, that's *exactly* why I would never create a rule that permanently deletes messages that go to spam. Because I'm worried that *that* rule will catch something it shouldn't and thus delete a message I should get. If you think you can build better logic than whoever wrote the spam filters, then shut them off and start building your own. -- f.h. > If you think you can build better logic than whoever wrote the spam filters, Not saying I could build better logic.

As opposed to it currently being the first thing to run when mail arrives, would be nice to give users the flexibility to run some of their own rules first. Albert wrote:

In the latter category I would include mail formatted in a character set that I cannot read. Even if it came from god, it's still junk if I cannot read the characters! The mail rules used to run before the junk filter, but got moved afterwards by one of the updates. Of course, if I could write rules that ran on stuff in the Junk Mail folder then I'd be happy.  |
