Can I use Outlook's junk e-mail protection on multiple accounts?

[timoteo]

I am using Outlook 2003 and Exchange server 2000. I use the Junk e-mail protection that comes included with Outlook 2003. Since the last update from Microsoft, I find that it does a pretty good job of blocking spam.

The only problem is I cannot find a way to make it check both of the e-mail accounts that I check. I have everything setup so that I check two mailboxes: my work mailbox and the "general" mailbox for the organization. The junk mail only works on my work mailbox. Does anyone know of a way to check both?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Well, I think I answered my own question. I did some more research and found the following post on a Microsoft message board:

The Junk Mail filter (and rules, for that matter) operate only on the
default delivery Inbox.
