  • The rule is applied only to messages you receive after the rule was created. To run the rule on existing emails, on Kutools tab, please click Junk > Run Junk Rules Now.

  • Check the Rule description wrap display option, so that if a rule description is too long to fit in one line of the window, it will wrap to the next line.
  • The rules in the Junk dialog box are executed from top to bottom: For example, if an email meets the conditions set in the first rule, it will be immediately moved to the Junk Email folder, then the following rules will not be applied on this email. If the first rule is a never block rule, when an email meets the conditions in this never block rule, it will remain in the Inbox folder even if it meets the conditions in the following block rules.
