Finding/editing rules created in Outlook

Question

In an attempt to manage the amount of mail deposited in my our Inbox  I used the wizard you get by clicking on the Organize button, to move mail from (insert senders id) to a Junk Mail folder I created.  This runs during the send/receive operation.  When I have time, I scan through the contents of this Junk Mail folder just to check if there is some mail I do want.  And then delete all that remains.  This doesn't catch those 'first time' senders, but should from then on.   I noticed last night that I had mail send by my sister that was in the Junk Mail folder.  I have not (consciously) added my sisters' name to the list to be screened out.    All this said, where can I find the file containing these 'senders' and can it be edited?   Any help will be greatly appreciated.   Sonar

sonar557, Open the Inbox the go to Tools|Organize|Junk Email. Click the 'Click here' link and on the dialog that opens click 'Edit Junk Senders.' You should be able to delete your sister's name there.

Denny, following the path you outlined brought me to a very small window through which you can read the at least enough characters to recognize the id of the listed names.  My sisters name is Margaret Fleming.  In the listing you can scroll through there is no listing for a Margaret Flemiing@... or a Fleming Margaret @.   Any other ideas?   sonar

Denny, I thought of a possibility just as I pushed the Send button......Are these lists kept in a file that can be accessed and edited outside program>    sonar

To add to a recent post, simply click on it, pick Message Options, then Edit.

The list should be quite readable as is. Check that your sister's domain isn't on the list, or some other derivation that would qualify.
