Additional tips

• To help Windows Live's junk mail filter work more effectively, make sure to mark legitimate emails as "Not Junk" and report any false positives as "Junk".
• You can also add specific senders or domains to your "Safe Senders" list to ensure that their emails are not flagged as junk.
• If you're still receiving a lot of junk mail, you may want to consider using a different email provider or switching to a more advanced email client.
