Mark Email And Email Sender As Not Junk In Outlook

If a normal email has already been filtered to the junk email folder, you can mark this email and it’s sender as Not Junk to prevent it from going to junk folder in the future.

1. Get into the Junk E-mail folder.

2. Select the email which you want to make as Not Junk.

3. Then go to the Home tab, click Junk > Not Junk. See screenshot:

If you are using Outlook 2007, please click Actions > Junk E-mail > Mark as Not Junk.

Besides, you can also mark email as Not Junk by right-clicking it and then select Junk > Not Junk in the right-clicking menu.

4. After clicking Not Junk, a Mark as Not Junk dialog box will pop up, please check the Always trust e-mail from “xxx@xxx.com” box, and then click OK button.

Then the email will be moved to the original folder. And from now on, all emails send from this sender will not be filtered to the junk email folder any more.
