Applying message rules to the Junk E-mail folder

Junk E-mail buttonWhen you’ve created a rule to directly delete the most obvious spam messages, rather than letting them go to the Junk E-mail folder, you might have noticed that this method isn’t always successful.

This is because once a message has been marked as Junk via the Junk E-mail Filter, no rules will be executed for that message. The reasoning behind this is to prevent it from being moved out of the folder again or to have any other undesirable action being executed because of it (like auto-replying to it).

While you could still manually execute your anti-Junk rules against the Junk E-mail folder to speed up your reviewing process, it is a quite cumbersome process to get to the option and select the rules to execute.

With the VBA macro from this guide, you can execute all your anti-Junk E-mail rules against your Junk E-mail folder with a single click.

Moving the ost-file of an Exchange, Outlook.com or IMAP account

Move OST-File buttonWhereas it is quite easy to set or change the location of pst-files belonging to a POP3 account, changing the location of the ost-file for an Exchange, Outlook.com or IMAP account is much more troublesome.

This can lead to issues as these files can grow quite large and the disk or partition on which you have Windows installed might not be accommodated for that. Especially if you invested in a fast SSD-drive, you usually don’t have GBs of space to waste and rather locate this data on your larger data drive.

While you can force the location of ost-files via Registry value, you’ll need to remove and re-add the account and download all mail again.

An effective and more direct solution is to use Symbolic Links. While the matter around them and how they function is quite complex, using them is luckily fairly easy and they are a very effective solution for this issue.
