How to Disable Outlook’s Junk E-mail Filter

For Microsoft Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013.

Some people don’t want to use Outlook’s Junk filter. They set it to No Automatic Filtering in Junk Email options. This is supposed to stop all filtering except for addresses on the Blocked senders list but some users say the Junk Email filter continues to filter their mail.

The Junk Email Options dialog is at Tools, Options, Preferences in Outlook 2007 or accessed using the Junk button on the Home ribbon in Outlook 2010 (both on the main interface and an opened message).

It is possible to disable the junk filter completely by editing the registry. The key will stop all filtering and disables the Junk E-mail Options button. If you do this before you create a new default pst, the junk folder will not be created.

To open the registry editor, type regedit in the Start Search field or in the Run command.

In Outlook 2007, set the following key (create the keys in the path if they do not exist):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook
DWORD: DisableAntiSpam
Value: 1 (Hex)

If you use Outlook 2010, the key is (create the keys in the path if they do not exist):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14. http:// 0\outlook

Delete the key or change it to Value of 0 to turn the Junk email filter back on.

If you don’t want to edit the registry yourself, we have ready-to-use reg files available for download. Double click on the downloaded file to add the file to your registry.
