I cannot find the Junk tab in the Tools/Options/Security section. With apologies, I could not attach an image of the saved document My Private and Security page so I had to cut and paste it in this message. As you can see, there is no Junk tab in that section. I carefully read and tried to follow the instructions in that section. Can you help? Thank you. Stuart

I found the Junk settings under Account Settings. It doesn't look the same as the article under Tools/Options/Security section, but it's working now.
