Turn Off Junk Email Filtering in Outlook and Outlook Web App (OWA)

CaTS continues to work on minimizing the amount of valid e-mail which is being sent to your "Junk E-Mail" folder. If this is a problem for you, this feature can be safely turned off so that all messages are delivered to your inbox. The university is continuing to use the Proofpoint antispam/antivirus services which accurately identifies and quarantines actual spam before it gets to the Microsoft mail servers.

The following procedures can be used to turn off Junk E-Mail filtering within RaiderMail. Note that if you use an email client other than Outlook Web App (OWA) or Microsoft Outlook, please use the instructions outlined below for "Outlook Web App (OWA)".
