 Outlook 2010 Remove a Filter
Just started using Office 2010 and one of my Outlook folders has a filter applied that I can't seem to get rid of. I've clicked the Filter E-mail button, but it is dimmed out and doesn't respond to mouse-click. Any idea what to do? Outlook help is not helpful, as usual.

Software/Hardware used:
XP Professional, Office 2010

Is this a home or work PC. Are you on a domain? It could be affected by a GPO if you are on a domain. Is this a POP3 account or an Exchange account? If Exchange what version?

It’s probably an email rule. I don’t know how 2010 works, but under Tools > Rules Wizard >
{under} Apply rules in the following order,

uncheck the rule that is filtering your emails to that folder. That should stop the emails from going into that outlook folder.
