Outlook blocks 1 address from my inbox– belonging to my boss!
My Outlook 2007 will not accept e-mails from only one address-- that belonging to my boss. It doesn't even shunt them to my junk e-mail folder; I only receive notice of them in my daily spam report. I can read the original message only if I access my e-mail account via webmail, where it shows up in my spam box.
To remedy the problem, I have added the target address to my safe senders list and turned off all spam filtering. But these methods haven't succeeded.
Help?

Answer Wiki:
There is no problem with your Outlook settings - the issue is with the outside hosting system you referred to as “”www.1and1.com”".
The E-Mails from your boss are not reaching your inbox at the hosting site. Outlook will not down load any messages not in the Inbox Folder. Contact your E-Mail hosting company technical support and they will advise you how to modify the spam settings on THEIR system to prevent e-mail from your boss getting sent to your SPAM folder.

Can you provide any specific error messages received? There may be a 500 series error message from the server. Do you have any other rules on your mailbox that may be placing these messages into a personal folder (PST) somewhere?
I don’t receive an error message, per se; I only receive a daily digest notifying me of the junk e-mails that I’ve received (but they’re not located in the junk e-mail folder). Actually, I don’t think I should even get a daily digest because I turned off spam filtering to figure this problem out.
I do have a rule set up for the e-mail from the target address to go to a designated folder. I turned off the rule, but I still can’t receive e-mails from that person.
I checked all of my folders to find these e-mails, but to no avail.
Is this an exchange account? Or a POP3 account with your Internet provider or something?
It’s IMAP..
Have you tried running the cleanrules switch? Close outlook, go to start, run, and type outlook.exe /cleanrules.
Thanks for the tip. I ran cleanrules, but e-mails from my boss still bounce.
What program is generating and sending that ‘daily spam report’ ?
The e-mail program (www.1and1.com) sends the digests (example below). These e-mails do show up in the spam folder when I use webmail, but they cannot be found in Outlook.
Subject: Daily report mailbox kfoo@urbaneco.org folder Spam

Update:
I have not made changes to Outlook since running cleanrules, but I was able to receive two group e-mails from my boss yesterday. When we tested it just now, however, her e-mail sent only to me went straight to my webmail spam folder.
