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.

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? -

Most spam emails coming from Amazon Web service. IP address starting, 3-13-18-32-34-35-36-44-52-54-99-100
All those IP numbers belongs to Amazon Web service. Because money hungry Amazon they are supporting spammers. hjjkjk@98fd7.de kind emails we are receiving more than 50 junk emails a day. Outlook doesn't have any protection, none of them work. They are acting like a loser. -

I just got my flight info filtered into junk, retirement info, and an important credit card alert all in the same day. And yet, phishing and actual junk gets through to my inbox. Just let me disable it and manage it myself

For some reason, junk mail is getting worse and worse over the past couple of months. I already have appropriate settings to let through safe senders to my inbox. However, my Junk Mail box is inundated with **** and quite often some legitimate notifications end up in there that I need to see (since it's nearly impossible for me to set every possible sender as safe especially since I don't know if they're going to send something to me).
I tried adding some rules so that they'll apply to all mail (including Junk), so that the **** will be auto-deleted...everyone here knows a lot of the stupid culprits.
PLEASE ALLOW FOR THE RULES TO APPLY TO JUNK MAIL!!!!!!!
I know that in the past the Outlook guys have done a fairly decent job at even keeping the Junk mail folder clean of much of the ****, but they've been quiet on this lately and the inundation continues. Please continue the battle on this front as well.
Thank you.

I started to get e-mails from support@eiopyvn1.de. The letters and numbers before .de continuously change.
I set up a rule to delete all e-mails from .de
The problem is the e-mails go to the junk folder so I have to look through the junk before emptying the junk folder to be sure a legitimate e-mail is not in there.
I think the only solution is to close this outlook e-mail account. -

YES, PLEASE add rules for junk mail. I am being flooded with junk mail every single day. 99% of these emails come from return@ with different domain names made up of random letters. Occasionally I may get an important email sent to the junk folder by mistake, so I can't just empty it. I am forced to waste a lot of my time scrolling down through hundreds of junk messages before I can block/delete them all. This could be easily fixed, if I could apply the Rule to the junk folder, deleting all emails with sender containing return@

In my opinion the methodology you all use for filtering spam messages is flawed. Based on my experience an individual's rules should be applied before the spam filter is used to scan inbound messages but instead you run the spam filter so that and individual's rules only to mail that goes to the INBOX. The result is that spam really isn't blocked it's just placed in the JUNK folder. The argument you all suggest is that if it's truly spam the end user doesn't need to do anything as the messages will be automatically deleted from the JUNK folder over time. The problem with that logic is that the end user must sort through lots of spam messages to discover messages that are NOT spam but were thought to be spam by filter. Bottom line is that the way you handle spam is NOT productive for the end user and needs to be changed.

Why make "junk" a new subscription. Found some very dangerous "junk" that had previously stolen money from my account using an alternate name. Is it possible to check first before creating a new "subscription"?

Enable "Rules" to be applied to the "Junk Email" folder. Need to be able to get spam under control, cause sometimes normal email ends up in the junk folder. There has been an influx of junk mails that i receive and its getting tiresome to check hundred of them each day to week out accidental good emails that were sent to the junk folder.

Is it possible to have emails identified as phishing to be permanently deleted from junk mail rather than have it all go to the deleted items folder? This would allow identification and a one-step clean up.

Yes. Good emails get put into SPAM folder. Impossible to go through the hundreds of real spam to find those unintended. Most of the stuff in Spam I could remove with a simple spam filter rule on about a dozen key words.

Now getting phishing email with links to website ****.nesmonst.com. I agree that we should be able to apply rules to junk email folder to automatically block and delete these and all other "illegal" emails coming into Junk. Including sexually explicit emails coming from appspot.

I am getting at least a 100 a day from ….@ …...vertical-aff.com Why can't rules be allowed in the junk file or block file, to block domains with a wild card i.e @/%/.vertical-aff.com or even to automatically delete emails going to the junk file.

Yes, if Microsoft is not going to filter out junk email, then please add rules to junk mail. Getting 40+ junk email a day from domains ending in .de. Please just filter it all out, or provide the option of setting rules.
