How to block or filter Emails in Microsoft Outlook

Description: This article will show you how to block or filter emails and domains using the Microsoft Outlook junk filter system.

  1. Open Microsoft Outlook by selecting it from the Start menu.
    Start menu, Outlook
  2. Choose the Home tab, then select Junk in the delete section.
    Outlook ribbon, Home tab, Junk option
  3. Select Junk email Options in the dropdown menu.

  4. Choose your desired level of filtering. The setting chosen in the example below will automatically move some email to the junk folder but may miss some - you can also use the Permanently delete option to immediately delete it instead of moving it. The choices in this section are best case examples, but this process also requires learning and feedback from the end user in order to function optimally.
