I think I have accidentally added some addresses to my Junk Email list in
Outlook. I chose Actions>Junk Email>Add to Junk Senders list while an
address was highlighted in my preview pane. When I tried to find the Junk
Senders list to remove the address, the options outlined on Microsoft's
website are not there. It says to "Go to the Tools>Options. On the
Preferences tab, under E-mail, click Junk E-mail." What I can see is
Tools>Options>Preferences>Email>Email Options. Under this, there is only
some options about Message Handling and Replies and Forwards, but nothing in
any of these sub-menus says anything about Junk Email. How can I have the
option to add addresses to the Junk Email List when I can't find where the
Junk Email List even exists? How do I edit it?

It is Outlook 2002. I don't have those options under Actions. All I have is
Actions>Junk Email>Add to Junk Senders list or Add to Adult Content list.
There is no "Remove from Junk Senders list" or any other options.

And under Tools, there is only Options>Preferences>Email>Email Options.
With nothing pertaining to Junk Email.

> Actions>Junk-Email>Junk-Email Options

OK, then. The junk senders list is a file named Junk Senders.txt and you
can find it in
%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook, which is a hidden folder. Open Windows
Explorer and in the Address field, type %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook and
click Go. You should see Junk Senders.txt there. Edit it with Notepad to
remove the inadvertently added name.
