Click on the Junk Email folder, then locate the email in question & right-click on it .... select 'Not Junk' or similar option from the small menu that appears ... it may give you a choice as to where to relocate it, but it will probably opt for your Inbox ...

Lostris, yes i can do that ie, send the message from junk mail to inbox, what i need to do is stop it being sent to junk box in the first place ? ie. de junk mail it.

Because you tell Outlook that it is Not Junk, then next message should go to Inbox!

As Hallmark says - if you followed lostris's instructions in marking the mail as "not junk" and NOT just moving it to the Inbox you are basically teaching it to recognise your mail. Unfortunately some algorithms are slow learners and it may take a few shots at this before it accepts the situation although there will be the odd hiccup now and then as it tries to revert to a previous instruction set.
