Too much junk / spam: Junk folder becoming to inundated
20 year user moving to new platform. Flooded my junk box with advertisements now I have to search for any emails that may be of value to me that don't automatically filter to my inbox. It's a shame.

If MS would allow us to apply rules to our junk mail it might help to cut down on a lot of it. Blocking or marking it as phishing does nothing. I will say when I reported the 80+ junk mails I was receiving daily to MS Support they were reduced to about half. But new ones are being added, mostly from senders ending in .de - being able to use rules would give us a little more control.

So this is interesting. I got an email from Microsoft Rewards in my junk mail folder. Your spam filters are so bad that they put your own emails into spam?
I get the same spam from the same spammers every single day. Day in and day out, 365 days a year.
Then I get email that shouldn't go to spam go to the spam folder even after I marked them as not junk over and over and over again.
Sometimes they pop back into my spam folder a few hours or a day later. Are you kidding?
Why oh why can't you figure out how to effectively filter spam?

Posted previously the comment on 1/16/21 and checked 1/17/21 the comment that was waiting for moderator approval was gone. Kamal here is the proof the moderator or administrator is suppressing my comments and or ideas. I will check the other places I posted including my new idea.

Junk mail the past few weeks is out of control. Endless emails with the same subjects every day...smilebright, curafen, george foreman, miracle gummies. No matter how many times I block them, they just keep coming from different emails. Please do something!

Please do something about my junk mail being inundated with rubbish. This is not what we signed up for and the matter is getting worse while you are worrying about the money inside your pocket, just disgusting really.
kindly do what needs to be done and stop ignore us, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. It's been 10years, do you really want me to leave? Repair your product now!

Join the club person who commented January 12, 2021. I agree something needs to be done, but Outlook refuses to do nothing or give reasons why they will not.

Please, please, please get someone at your organization to start blocking these domains and IPs at the firewall before it even gets to our inboxes.
Receiving close to 100 SPAM emails per day from some variation of @clubbulk.live has moved beyond junk mail and into harassment!

Admin you edited my comment, Why? What you have done is taken away the people that sent my spam emails. Do you think it is not okay to let other users know some of the offending spammers and why are you protecting them? It is okay to send them to me unedited, yet you edit them. Here are the ones you edited, followed by the ones with their names which you say are spam/junk.
Examples of five junk emails:
1ink xxxxxx@lissasalmon.com>
xxxxxx@desbught.com>
SilverSingles-Ad Partner <xxxxx@coatemeng.com>
Zebit <xxxxx@wikiabitsma.run>
LeafFilter Discount xxxxx@strancips.com>
Examples of five junk emails:
1ink <newsletter@lissasalmon.com>
USA_Wild_Seafood Info <newsletter@desbught.com>
SilverSingles-Ad Partner <newsletter@coatemeng.com>
Zebit <president@wikiabitsma.run>
LeafFilter Discount <newsletter@strancips.com>(Edited by admin) -

Here are some examples of what Outlook wants users to do, while using the dropdown provided in your email account. They want us to mark all junk emails as phishing and then still using the dropdown block them. Please remember you are only blocking these emails one at a time and Outlook's filters do not pickup the fact that these emails while the same are not blocked because these are the fake address and not the real people sending these junk emails over and over.
Examples of five junk emails:
1ink xxxxxx@lissasalmon.com>
xxxxxx@desbught.com>
SilverSingles-Ad Partner <xxxxx@coatemeng.com>
Zebit <xxxxx@wikiabitsma.run>
LeafFilter Discount xxxxx@strancips.com>Going to the message source reveals the real sender because the IP address matches the fake address. Using these five examples here they are:
1ink <newsletter@lissasalmon.com> issasalmon.com- 89.22.250.155- fake sender
Received: from pmautzaq.com- 89.22.250.155- real sender
USA_Wild_Seafood Info <newsletter@desbught.com> desbught.com- sender IP is 76.72.134.85-fake sender. Received: from lnwqdulnh.com-76.72.134.85- real sender
SilverSingles-Ad Partner <newsletter@coatemeng.com>- coatemeng.com- sender IP is 143.225.118.151- fake sender. Received from fhqodcqmmhh.com-143.225.118.151- real sender
Zebit <president@wikiabitsma.run>- wikiabitsma.run- sender IP is 198.211.97.123- fake sender. Received: from wikiabitsma.run- 198.211.97.123 real sender
LeafFilter Discount <newsletter@strancips.com>- strancips.com- sender IP is 91.194.63.50- fake sender. Received: from cbgmfyavjiri.com-91.194.63.50-real sender
My question is why is Outlook giving us false hope. Please vote for the idea that works for you. Please ask for a way to block all junk emails not on your safe senders list.(Edited by admin) -

This has been going on for far too long now and nothing has been done, you might as well bang your head against a brick wall. Over the new year period I hardly had any of this rubbish but slowly it has increased and today I have had loads of the same old ads 'keto' 'ukranian girls' 'aag mortgages' etc. Good thing is it goes into junk mail. Surely in this day and age and with the technology available all this **** should never even reach the junk mail category.

I think Outlook needs to face the fact that their filters do not work. If a user were to use their blocked senders and domains tool. It does not work either. Why? Because only so many spam email addresses can be blocked at any one time. Then when it gets full the oldest gets excessed back into the pool to come back to the user time after time. People need to comment and vote on the idea close to the idea that sounds like it might work for you. Yes you will be punished for speaking up like I have and most likely they will like me delete your posts. Microsoft this is a forum for you to hear our complaints and our ideas to make your product better not stay the same.

How many emails per day from Miracle Gummies and Vivint and 1ink and SmileDirectClub and others must be endured before Microsoft figures out how to implement an effective SPAM filter?!? Not to mention the obvious phishing emails coming from .de or .fr or other foreign addresses containing account lock notices using US company names? Certainly you have the technological knowhow to stop this harassment so why have you not in all this time created intelligent filters to block this nonsense from cluttering our mailboxes?

Important email just keeps going to junk folder and junk email keeps getting delivered to Inbox.
This is extremely frustrating...
Is anyone from Microsoft reading this?

Moderator, I am serious about wanting to block unwanted emails. To that end I would like ALL users of Outlook to vote on what ever suggestion they like. IF and it should not be if, Outlook would see how frustrating it is to be inundated by thousands of unwanted or junk emails a day. My hope is my examples will trigger an outpouring of votes to get you to change and act on suggestions in a more expedite way. You have suggestions and comments dating back years on the same subjects users are complaining about now.
Please give us some relief by allowing us to block all emails NOT on our safe senders list. Otherwise why do we have a list that gives us the expectation of staying safe? Especially when calling it a safe senders list.

I am going to comment in several posts the ineffectiveness of writing rules in the attempt to permanently block junk emails. The only thing that will work is either Outlook provide a tool to permanently block the senders domain and/or provide a tool that allows the user to do the blocking of all domains not on the safe senders list. Moderator please note the different ways the spammers are negotiating around a user's attempt to block these disgusting emails and the different domains being used. Then refer to a list I provided you of the domains that keep showing up AFTER I blocked them enough times to denigrate their reputation.

I have noticed that I don't receive many emails. And it doesn't go to junk box.

Don't you have some kind of AI that can detect junk emails and redirect them to the junk mail box instead of sending them to inbox?
For example email from sender c6nBfyGdgq@sendboxfr.com and subject - Best Wi-Fi Booster on the Market Now Up To 50% OFF
was delivered to my Inbox. How can this possibly not be junk email?
I get many such emails everday delivered to my Inbox.

I've used Hotmail over 20 years. The amount of spam had been minimal until earlier this year when it began to increase. It's now anywhere from 50 to over 80 a day and it keeps going up. While it does go into my junk folder I still have to go through it. Many I get every day - 1ink.com, Tommy Chong, Vivint, CBD products, Splash Wines just to name a few and some are repeated more than once a day. Doesn't do any good to block the senders. I've had 2 Yahoo accounts almost as long and get only occasional spam. Whatever happened to the Can-Spam Act?
