Publisher's Description

Microsoft 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.

I carefully followed the instructions to install this, along with the other packages, .Net and PIA. I, also, always just get "Junk E-mail Add-in failed to attach this message ...."

POS does NOT work with IMAP. :(

"Junk E-mail Add-in failed to attach this message (emailSubjectHere) Make sure message has been completely downloaded and can be opened before reporting it as junk. Do you want to continue processing the remaining selection(s)?"

Of course it is you stupid POS! Wow, pretty lame!!

Every junk message I try to report gives me the error "The message you selected is marked Do Not Forward. This message cannot be reported as junk e-mail."

installed and nothing happened??? No junkmail icon in toolbar for outlook...nothing. Uninstalled and reinstalled, still nothing? Good concept but just didn't work.

At least you got a new button on the toolbar. After installing this to Outlook 2003, no changes were apparent on any toolbar or menu.

Same problem as coover - error message when I tried to report a spam message. If and when it actually works I'll use it.

Great! Though I don't use Outlook, I am really for anti-spam.

Sadly the 'Blue Frog project' died.. This seems to be a nice alternative for the Outlook-users..!

"What a good idea", I thought. "Here is a chance to do something about junk email". I quickly downloaded this application and ran it. I then opened Outlook 2003 and noticed the new button "Report as Junk and Delete". Hitting the "Send/Receive" button, I soon noticed several emails which I knew were junk, but had somehow survived my junk email filters and ended up in my Inbox.

"Good", I thought. "I'll report these right away." I choose the first and hit the "Report" button. Immediately I received an error message. "The message you selected is marked Do Not Forward. This message cannot be reported as junk e-mail." I choose a second message and got the same error message. A third message, the same. And a fourth. And a fifth. Every message I choose, there must have been 20 to 30, gave me the same error message. This software is brand new and the Spammers have already figured a way around it.

The bottom line ... this software is useless.
