Outlook 2003 Tips

  • Outlook 2003 lets you add names to your Blocked Sender, Safe Sender, and Safe Recipient lists directly from messages in your Inbox. You could do this by right-clicking the message, clicking Junk E-mail, and choosing commands from the shortcut menu shown in the picture. You could remove names, or add them, from the Junk E-mail Options dialog box.

  • Please Note:  Depending on how your system is configured, the following informational message may appear when right-clicking on a message.  Simply check Please do not show me this dialog again, and click Ok. 

  • If an item is moved to your Junk E-mail folder by mistake, select the message, and then press CTRL+ ALT+J.  The following message will appear.  Select the check box, Always trust e-mail from “selected address”, and messages from that address will always appear in your inbox.

  • To create a rule based on the details of a message, right-click the message, and then click Create Rule. Select the conditions and actions you want to apply, and then click OK.
  • To quickly save an address to Contacts, open the message. In the From field, right-click the name you want to make into a contact. On the shortcut menu, click Add to Contacts. Click Save and Close.  Messages from your contacts will never be considered Junk e-mail.
