Mail going directly to inbox
I've unchecked the "schedule an automatic send/receive..." on both on and off line but mail is still going to Outlook's inbox or junk folder. The registration confirmation email for this forum went directly to junk. Mailwasher does catch some good and bad emails but the majority are still going to Outlook. What am I missing?

Re: Mail going directly to inbox
If mail is going to Outlook first, (before you have time to see/delete it in MWPro) that usually means that you are using IMAP OR Exchange in Outlook, this means that Outlook auto downloads any email without any input from you.
(If unsure of account type, open Outlook and click File, Account Settings. Accounts are on the Email tab)
As there is no way to set Outlook IMAP/Exchange accounts to NOT auto check for new mail, the only options are to either:
(A) Leave Outlook closed when not in use.
(B) The other option is to set Outlook to work in offline mode:
