We all have confronted ourselves with the plague represented by junk mail. And except the filtering technologies delivered by the email service providers, there is nothing else that stands
between you and junk email. The worst case scenario is if your address has ended up on a spam list that is passed around among spammers. You may have also noticed that, in some cases, the filtering technologies fail to stop spam. In this context, the Redmond Company released Microsoft Junk E-mail Reporting Tool version 1.0 for Microsoft Office Outlook.

The Junk E-mail Reporting Tool enables Outlook users to report junk emails directly to Microsoft. The Redmond Company and the affiliated companies will thereafter analyze the user submissions. Microsoft promised that the process will lead to the updating of the company's junk email filtering technologies.

"The Junk E-mail Reporting Tool submits e-mail to Microsoft when you explicitly choose to do so. If you receive a junk e-mail and want to report it to us for analysis, first select the e-mail in Outlook and then click the junk e-mail button on your tool bar. You will see a pop-up window asking whether you want to report the selected e-mail to Microsoft and its affiliates. When you click "Yes" to confirm that you'd like to report the selected e-mail as junk e-mail, the junk e-mail will be deleted from your Inbox and sent to FrontBridge, a Microsoft company, for analysis to help us improve the effectiveness of our junk e-mail filtering technologies," revealed Microsoft.

Microsoft Junk E-mail Reporting Tool version 1.0 for Microsoft Office Outlook comes only in the English language version, delivering support for both Windows Vista and Windows XP and for Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.

Microsoft Junk E-mail Reporting Tool for Microsoft Office Outlook 1.0 has been tested by Softpedia as being 100% Clean and is available for download here.
