You can use the junk e-mail filter to help decrease the amount of junk e-mail that appears in your Inbox.
  1. Sign in to the Windows Live Hotmail website with your Windows Live ID.
  2. In the upper-right corner of the page, click Options, and then click More options.
  3. Under Junk e-mail, click Filters and reporting.
  4. Under Filters and reporting, select the options that you want, and then click Save.
Notes
  • If you choose Exclusive for your junk e-mail filter, only messages from e-mail addresses on your Contacts or Allowed senders lists appear in your Inbox. Messages from senders not on those lists are automatically sent to the Junk e-mail folder.
  • You should occasionally check your junk e-mail folder to make sure that good messages are not sent to there by mistake.
