Exchange 2010 SP2 keeps throwing internal mail in one users Junk Folder

Answered Exchange 2010 SP2 keeps throwing internal mail in one users Junk Folder

      We have an Exchange 2010 SP2 with all roles on one box and no Edge server.  A user reported having an issue with internal emails going to Junk. They would sometimes go to Junk after sitting in the inbox for a while. I verified this behavior. The OL2010 client explained that some where placed there by OL's filter and others where placed there by Exchange.  At that point i checked the SCL and it was -1 but then learned that OL2010 could care less about SCL, so I switched it to online mode from cached mode.  Still had the same problem, just fewer occurrences so I disabled content filtering via PShell. Still the same issue. We use an external service for spam/failover , so disabling these internal filters is not a problem for us since everything is "clean" when it comes in. Any ideas?

    Sounds like a question for the Outlook forum. If the SCL is -1 it
    isn't the Exchange server that's messaing with the message.

    Even if OL is in online mode and the Junk email settings are off in OL and OWA? Thanks for looking at this.

    Hi ATCSJeff,

    To narrow down the possibility of issue, please:

    1, Move the mailbox to another database to check it again

    2, Send a mail to himself and what's the result

    3, Run Outlook in safe mode

    4, Run Get-Mailbox mailboxname | fl to compare with another normal mailbox

    5, Run the Test-Message(In order to run the cmdlet, the account"Support Diagnostics" Mangement Role):

    Thanks for the help Frank, I am going to do this Friday and I will post my findings.

    I gather the Test-Message will expose any rules, I ran MFCMAPI previously and deleted all of them hoping an errant rule was causing this. I also started OL with the /cleanrules switch previously as well before taking it out of cache mode.
