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 about an hour. I'm so sick of it. It is ridiculous that rules cannot be applied to your junk folder.

This idea was posted August 26,2019, it has 1.872 votes and 325 comments with this comment. It has been under review since September 17,2019. I think the time has come for Outlook to quit dragging their feet and give us our solution(s) to our problems. After all isn't over one year and five months enough time to figure out if this idea or any comments have merit? Outlook pretends this is the place to offer ideas and comments in the spirit of improving the way our email provider works, but time is at a stand still in regards to hearing if anything is going to be done to make our email experience better not worse or stay the same. HOW ABOUT UPDATING US AS TO WHETHER ANY CHANGES WILL BE MADE FOR THE BETTER. Posted 2/10/21

I too want rules for junk emails. I find that there are numerous ways to combat the influx of junk emails that are not wanted in my junk email folder. Most contain the same subject and come from the same people. The only thing different is the using of spaces, words like ad or survey. Along with the different domains used to say the same thing. Maybe there is other ways to accomplish the same thing. We have a safe senders' list, so why can't we just say as a rule, "Block all domains permanently that are not on our safe senders list in the settings page." Why Not? After all what is a safe senders list for? I thought it was to keep unwanted emails from entering our accounts. Another way would be to permanently block by the subject or key words. Those could be things such as unwanted emails from: Bathandshowerpros.com Remodel, Inogen one, eharmony Ad, GutterProtectionDeals.com Affiliate, 1 ink.com, GEICO: Car Ins. Savings, VIVINT Premier Partner, Select Home Warranty Info, Weed-KillerClaim Campaign, USAWildSeafood.com Ad Partner, AutoInsureConnect, EasyCanvasPrints.com Ad, EZInsuranceBundle.com, USConcealedOnline.com, Fabletics Clothes, Lifeline Screening of America Partner, QuickenLoans.com Associate, SelectQuote Ad Partner, Keranique System, CarInsuranceQuiz.com Rates, loanDepot Digital, SilverSingles.Ad Partner, Indigo-Platinum-Card, Firefighter Foam Settlement, ZantacInjuryHelp.com Offer, Purple Crew. THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE THOUSANDS OF JUNK EMAILS THAT COME INTO MY ACCOUNT AND MOST ARE DUPLICATED BY USING OTHER WORDS IN THE TO: LINE IN THE JUNK EMAIL. THEY ALSO HAVE BEEN MARKED AS PHISHING AND THEN BLOCKED PER THE DROPDOWN THAT OUTLOOK HAS PROVIDED. Has anyone had the same thing happen to you? How do I know they are junk? Because Outlook says they are with this disclaimer: Some content in this message has been blocked because the sender isn't in your Safe senders list. I trust content from contact.22@broken-ears.com. | Show blocked content as one example. Wouldn't most commenters agree that if you wanted to put in a new bath or shower you would click on a website to get information? Would you also agree that you would recognize that website? My problem and hopefully yours too, is I have not ever asked or clicked on any of these products and yet I get them. So I am like Diogenes, looking for an honest solution for stopping all these thousands of junk emails and an honest email provider that is interested in stopping these stupid junk emails. I hope to find a tool that does that and not have Outlook tell me this is a place to come to and offer my comments and ideas to make Outlook better and not worse like it is now.

Anybody else now getting a lot of spam emails in their junk folder with the sender address 'from@***.com'? I've had almost 40 junk emails today coming from that address as well as 'newsletter@***.com'. We need rules to apply to our junk folder as well as the Inbox.

I recently migrated from Google to Outlook.com with the premium features. I added my email custom domain and all my mailing list go directly to Junk mail. Also some personal emails are going to the Junk. I verified my Junk mail settings and they are very permissive.

I had an email go to my junk mail, but it was not junk. But it seems to have disappeared or was deleted. The rule on my junk is items will be deleted after 10 days. How can i retrieve the message that was deleted, and how can I change how many days before msgs. are deleted? Thank you.

Moreover, I can't avoid to check my junk mail because some goods mails come in, and I must say that many of these spams are absolutely depressing : always agressive and aiming at solving problems like hair loss, herpes, prostate problems, ****** troubles. I can't bear to see that kind of things all days ! I'm fine, thank you !
It's as if I would be a woman, 37 years old, and receiving each day agressive, vulgar and stupid mails aiming at "helping me" against all health, psy and ****** problems related to menopause, despite the fact I would have time before to think of. Day after day it becomes kind of depressing, and I'd just like to have a good day, and above all it should be so simple to delete it with rules because most of them have same email domains or same key words. -

Please solve this problem of rules that don't work for spams, receiving so many stupid spams with same types of domains or key words and being unable to stop them is totally depressing ! I'm thinking about to leave Hotmail.

WHY HAVE AN INBOX WHEN EVERY EMAIL GOES TO JUNK. CONSIDER THIS, THE VERIFICATION EMAIL FOR USERVOICE FORUMS, THAT "MAGIC LINK" YOU SEND FOR VERIFICATION, GOES TO JUNK MAIL. WHY HAVE AN INBOX. WHY HAVE A FORUM WHEN YOU WON'T LISTEN UNTIL THERE HAS BEEN A SOCIAL MEDIA BACKLASH AND YOUR STOCKS GO DOWN.

I had an interview yesterday, 02 Feb 2021, and I had received the initial email in inbox, but when they sent the interview link for video call, it was in junk, and WHAT'S WORSE, IT DID NOT LOAD AT ALL, I COULD NOT VIEW THE LINK, AND ENDED UP LOSING MY CHANCE TO ATTEND THE TESTS, AND THE INTERVIEW. WHAT KIND OF SPAM FILTER IS THIS, YOU TRY TO USE "ADVANCED" FILTERS BUT YOU DO NOT GO THROUGH PROPER TESTING PHASE OF THOSE SYSTEMS AND END UP SCREWING THE WHOLE THING UPSIDE DOWN. KUDOS TO THAT, A STANDING OVATION FOR YOUR INCOMPETENCY. CHEERS!

I am getting a huge amount of phishing emails, from a source, Named Amber Ellis, which each time I mark it phishing whether it is in my inbox, or junk folder and then block it, the person keeps setting up new names in the from section, ie, contac@tiesperm.com and many more; each day with a different email, if you hold the mouse over the link it has a known phishing site: t.dripemail2.com
So I am wondering how come the link to report phishing sites of the outlook mail tabs, doesn't seem to work. I also have set up rules, yet there is a loophole in the ability to use the name and block it as a selection in the rules. I am not clicking on it even though I want to give this pathetic person a piece of my mind, as it will only open the phishing! Help on what to do is needed, Allen -

Agreed, we should be able to use rules for junk email, not just our Inbox. I receive a lot of spam from 'newsletter@' everyday. They are not newsletters in the traditional sense and I did not subscribe to them. Can't block them using newsletter@*.com. Likewise I'm now getting spam from senders ending in .de. No way to block them either. While these are going to the Junk folder, I still have to wade through them to find legitimate emails.

The junk mail rules, whatever they are, DOES NOT WORK. Please, let me decide myself what is junk mail and not, instead you the programme sorting out useful mail and me having to add EVERY ONE OF THEM to a list of exceptions. I'm so tired of this. I'm a grown up, I can vote and make other decisions for myself, and don't need paternalism from my e-mail provider.

My feelings exactly. Give us a way to delete all Junk mail that has the same title.

I fully agree with fore mentioned writer. I am haunted every day by bitcoin especially, but also by all sorts of mails using contacts from my addressbook. Blocking does not work. What can I do and what does Microsoft do about this?

fully agree with most of the complains about JUNK-filter not working.
I can't find any reaction from Microsoft or a sign that they will improve??? -
