When I send an email to myself through code (ASP.NET's SendMail), the message goes to my junk folder (outlook.com webmail). Any ideas how I can prevent emails from ASP.NET going into the 'Junk' folder?
I found out why sent emails were going to outlook.com 's 'Junk' folder, incase anyone else is having the same problem. I was sending an html-based activation link to new users, so they could activate their new account. The problem was, outlook.com didn't like the html link in the email message. Solution: I set the message's IsBodyHtml boolean property to False In the email's message, I just put the link as regular text (instead of an html link), and then the sent mail no longer went to 'Junk'. The link still appears as a clickable link in outlook.com. Outlook.com seems smart enough to make regular text that starts with http:// and www. as links, by itself, even without html being present. Hopefully it'll still show up as a clickable link in other email clients / webmail providers.
