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.

seriously, why outlook throw all my important emails to the junk mail??? even though I have move those emails back to my inbox, when the next email coming in from the same sender, it's still thrown to the junk email. Can you make outlook slightly smarter???
If I already move the email out of junk and back to Inbox, outlook should automatically remember that!

I find that I have to check my "Junk Mail" folder almost daily. I randomly see mail from Contacts and trusted sources going into the Junk folder!

I agree and it appears Microsoft is doing nothing to respond to our complaints. I had over 1200 spam messages in my Junk mail folder today.

I created a rule if sender had cert-39483.appspot.com in it should go to deleted folder, it does not work. They are *** emails and outlook does not block. I am receiver over 100 per day.

Can we at least have personal Inbox rules run BEFORE junk rules? That would allow people to directly handle the email that bugs them the most - then let the junk filter clean up the rest. At the very least, allow us to prioritize the order of the “junk rule” against all other inbox rules?

Does MS get a kickback from appspot **** sites?
Enable the use of source address wildcards to delete unwanted spam.
Idiots.

In the past 2 weeks, I have gotten an influx of **** emails. I have set up numerous "rules", but they clearly are not working. I am CONSTANTLY getting emails with "Letters from Santa". I set up a rule that if the subject or from line = "Santa" to delete, but still get this ****. Same with "Keto". There are many more, but those are the 2 I get the most of. You should have an option to "block" rather than just "delete" as an action. I am getting like 50+ of this **** every day. Before 2 weeks ago, I may have gotten 10 a week! WTF????

Ok. I have to abandon micorsoft's mail entirely. I tried mail forwarding to Gmail. I thought if I forwarded all my mail there I could apply rules. I wouldn't even have to ever log into outlook.live.com. BUT NO!!!! The ***** at MS decided they are not even going to forward what THEY consider Junk Mail.
Believe me guys. MS has no intent of EVER fixing this. I have seen people have been complaining for years about it. They don't even read these posts.
Just move on. Stop giving your MS email acccount out and updating anyplace that has it. Remember, most places where you used the email address as your user ID you can change the email account so that it doesn't use your User ID anymore to send email.

MS could set a rule that if you mark something not Spam three times, emails from that sender will no longer end up in the Junk folder. How hard is that, MS Team??

Rules are needed definitely. I getting too many useful junk emails from discussion forums which I follow. Mark them as not junk and the next day they are back in junk again. It's a frustrating everyday issue.

Please, Please, Please let us disable the Junk Folder (like we can do in gmail) so that we can apply Rules. MS email gets more spam than gmail or yahoo. We need rules so we need to disable the Junk Folder!!!!!!!!! Also, we identify senders as not Junk and their email is still sent to junk. We shouldn't have to add the sender to the safe list, that should be done by MS when it moves it to the Inbox. People shouldn't have to learn to navigate settings just because they want their homedepot.com email!!! Especially because computer programmers spend MOST their time just moving things around to ensure google searches on how to do something will no longer be correct. So the way you added a sender to safe list last time & the way google search says to do it is probably NOT how you will have to do it this time.

I have multiple email accounts with gmail and yahoo. I only use outlook.live.com for one account. Know why? Because while I get 3 or 4 junk mail messages a day with those other accounts, I get about 100+ a day with hotmail. I suspect MS is hacked and their email addresses are obtained and sold. Yes, years ago I created an email account with each and then sat on it a week. Within a few days I was plowed with junk hotmail spam, yet no spam on the gmail/yahoo until months after I started giving those addresses out.
The point of this is that MS gave out our addresses and our Junk Folder needs RULES!!!!!!!! True, a lot of the spam has psuedo random addresses (which MS could allow us to have a RULE to auto delete those). But a lot of mine come from some-domain-name.xyz.
So a rule to auto delete anything with xyz in its address would work wonders.Moreover, when we flag a message as NOT JUNK, MS moves the message to Inbox AND THEN NOTHING ELSE!!!!! We said it was not junk and MS doesn't give a ****. The next message from them will likely go to Junk.

Just to add another voice in the hope that rules can be applied to junk inbox. There has been a massive increase in the amount of junk email I am receiving. Unfortunately, there are some important emails that are still getting into my junk inbox, so I have to manually sort through my junk inbox every day. If we could apply rules to the junk inbox it would significantly reduce the number of junk emails and allow them to be automatically deleted.

Please allow rules to be processes before sending mail to "Junk". As other users have reported I check junk mail regularly because often legitimate emails are wrongfully sent there and I recieve large amounts of junk mail that I could block/delete using simple rules.

Please STOP moving important messages to my spam/junk folder. I am missing school notices and other important emails.

Over 130 junk emails this morning and I just cleared it yesterday! So many have similar subjects and "company" names. Rules need to apply to junk email! Unfortunately, I have to keep screening because emails I want are landing in junk and emails that are junk are landing in my inbox. I've used Hotmail for about 20 years and NEVER had junk mail problems like this.

It would save a lot of time to be able to block the last part of the domain, e.g. anything from .xyz or .fun or .pw or... The first part of the domain is often changed by spammers making the blocking tool of limited effectiveness.
Also, even with rules in place, the messages still end up in my junk folder where I need to sort through them anyway to find accidental false positives. Why can't you have a separate folder for Junked By Rule or something like that? -
