Thanks very much.  I’ll give this a try.

Dan,

 

First, it could be that Microsoft marked your stock alerting service as “junk” and that this was subsequently corrected.  If Outlooked marked that service as junk, there may have been complaints from others causing it to be corrected.  Microsoft does, in its infinite wisdom, sometimes block certain domains to all Outlook customers, and if the sender takes certain actions, the block is lifted.  This has happened to NFBNET and this list a few times.  Therefore, it is possible that no other domains are affected.

 

However, you can look at your safe senders list and your block list.  The easiest way to find it is to go to your Junk folder and select a message but don’t do anything with it.  Press the applications key and arrow down until you find the “Junk Submenu.”  Open that menu and look for options.  When you open the Options dialog, you will be in a dialog with multiple tabs for Options, Safe Senders, Safe Recipients, and Block.  Each tab will have a list of the addresses that have been added, and you have the option to remove them.  I think it is unlikely that your Stock Alerting service will be there, though, unless you marked an email as junk by accident.  If Microsoft blocked it for a while, it would not be in your list.  Also, I have not found any way to see what Microsoft may be blocking for all users.

 

The Junk menu is also in the ribbon somewhere, but I was unable to locate it.  In my description above, you have to have some junk mail to find the options.  However, you can use the ribbon search function to find it if you don’t have any junk mail.

 

Best regards,

 

Steve Jacobson

In this case no emails ever went to my junk folder.

Look in your Junk folder.  For whatever reason, Outlook seems to assume everything is junk until you tell it otherwise. I have  developed the habit of checking the junk folder frequently. When you find something that is not junk to the file menu and then to the block sub-menu. You can tell it not to block the sender, the domain or the mailing list

Hi All,

 

I’m using Outlook 365 (Home Premium).  Last week I stopped  receiving many of the emails I routinely receive, one of them being a stock alerting service.  I called them to ask if somehow my alerts got turned off.  I was told that they all had been marked as junk and they did something on their end to stop the spam designation.  After thatI once again started to receive    their emails.  I never marked them as junk so I don’t know what happened.

 

Now I’m afraid that I’m not receiving other emails for the same reason.  Is there somewhere in Outlook where I can see the senders that are marked as junk?

 

Thank You,

Dan
