Let’s walk through three quick and easy tips to reduce spam when using the Outlook desktop app.
1. Block Sender
When a spam email lands in your Inbox, you can easily block the email address so that future ones will not get through.
- In the preview window, right-click on the email, choose Junk and then Block Sender.
- That’s it!
2. Junk Email Options – Blocked Top-Level Domain List
- In the Home tab, go to Junk and from the drop-down menu select Junk E-mail Options.
- Go to the International tab and click on the Blocked Top-Level Domain List button.
- Every country has it’s own “.xxx” domain. You can select as many as you like – even all countries.
- Click OK.
3. Junk Email Options – Blocked Encoding List
- Back in the International tab, you can also click the Blocked Encoding List. These contain emails with different languages.
- Check all languages that you would like to block.
- Click OK, then OK again to exit the window.
Between these 3 items, I have significantly reduced the amount of spam I received.
