Family calendar iPhone
I had previously manually created a “family calendar” that I shared and was therefore visible on outlook web, app and iOS calendar app. The latest update seems to have absorbed my manually created “family calendar” items into the new “my family” shared calendar which I do not recall being ask d permission for, however this new “my family” calendar is not visible in iOS calendar. Please resolve ASAP as not everyone uses the outlook app.

Rules for junk
PLEASE add rules for junk mail. I often get mail in my junk mail that is actually useful, so I look in there often. Lately, I've been getting SO MANY phishing emails from Save Yourself trying to "blackmail" me into sending them bitcoin, and it automatically goes to my junk folder, but I want anything with the words "Save Yourself" to be deleted so I don't have to look at it. Their emails contain an old password of mine, and their emails are all different, so even if I block one, I'll get another email from a different address in…

Obvious spam being sent to Inbox
Why is obvious spam not going to Junk or being blocked. 42 emails with the same "From" and "Subject" that arrived within 120 secs to my Inbox. These should have been filtered out and deleted or at the very least sent to Junk. Why weren't they?

remove sidebar office365 shortcuts from new outlook.com web interface
I do not want the shortcuts in my email sidebar to various online apps of office 265. This is 2021, why you want to force some icons on the side bar to people who just want to use the email? Please allow to hide these icons which i am sure are useless to more than 50 percent of outlook.com users.

Email from senders I have emailed are clearly not junk, yet end up in Junk folder
2 options --let me decide ONCE until I say otherwise that a sender is ok. Or for heaven's how hard can it be to write an algorithm that allows email from a sender to whom I have sent email??? My "Junk" folder often contains more than 50% mail that I want to receive -- and from repeated correspondents who I have designated as "not junk" repeatedly

[Suggestion]:Phishing emails titled "Netflix" or "Paypal"
So many phishing email titled "Netflix" or "Paypal" got through the filter. I have to manually report them every day. It's so easy to figure out they are fake because their email addresses are clearly from some random domains. Why they can't be automatically filtered out?
