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.

I think Outlook needs to reassess their drop down box as it does no good. It just does one junk email and the same email comes back again and again under a different domain or the same domain. My opinion is: allowing their junk email servers to dump every ten days does not solve the problem. That is because the dumping of blocked domains i.e. junk emails only allows the unwanted emails to come back over and over again. Outlook needs to put our safety and privacy as a priority and not as a way to make money. Otherwise why is their not a tool that does something in a permanent way? I too look through my junk email folder for emails I want and are marked as junk. Imagine if one were gone on a personal or business trip looking through hundreds of junk emails on the chance Outlook has marked junk a important email. Time consuming and unnecessary. When a tool I.E. button or box can be checked or clicked to target the domain. Permanently blocked and not for ten days and not after a survey to find enough people that wants it done too. Every email user has different preferences and priorities. Mine is to get rid of all the unwanted emails whether in the inbox or junk email folder.

Please make a rule for the 1st part of an email like starting with this: newletter@ I receive 75% of the junk mail from newsletter all the endings are different. I have to go through junk because an occasional good email is in there. But I think I could eliminate all of those!

My Outlook junk mail folder is flooded with spam from @mail.pendaramyamya.com, and other domains that I want to send straight to the deleted items folder. I will never get a useful email from this domain. Spam/phishing/sextortion emails should go straight to delete! Please enable rules for the junk email folder!!!

Kinda of here to complain about the same subject. When covid-19 started all my junk mail disappeared, now I'm once again getting 100's of emails daily with the same subjects. Keto, CBD, Director of Property, etc, etc.
Why can't rules apply to the junk folder and I try to move legit mail to inbox and still winds up as junk. Several spam filters i've tried automatically detect almost all these and delete them but i'm not paying another fee on top of the ridiculous Office 365 costs.
Microsoft consumer facing products are just 2nd rate. One daym I might just close these emails down and be done with Microsoft Office and Outlook once and for all. Their are other choices where I don't have to spend hours a day sorting through junk

I have created multiple rules to delete junk emails that contain certain criteria. They do not work. None of them... It's frustrating and ridiculous that there appears to be a feature offered (rules), but it's actually nothing. Nothing happens to the emails that should be effected and I keep getting spam from the same senders.
I specifically find common characteristics of the bulk spam that gets sent to me so I can create the rules to automatically delete them. Nothing happens. What is the point of appearing to be able to create the rules for this. They don't work. -

I have created a rule, several rules actually, changing what the subject includes and from where it is coming from for a notice that I get for my son and tracking his phone. It keeps sending these emails to junk. Why? I have been very diligent when creating the rule to not include specific times or dates and it still is doing this.

I just found the rules for junk finally. You go into your Inbox or Junk Folder. Then, choose Outlook settings. Under settings, choose 'View all Outlook Settings". Then, choose "Rules". You can then add rules including from, subject includes or body includes. You can choose keywords including "Sender Address Includes". You can also choose "Junk email". Under this, you can choose to block senders or domains and you can add safe senders and domains. This is excellent. I wish that I had seen it sooner.

Not a real solution, but good enough for me....
We would like to make a rule to delete the spam emails..... But rules do not apply to 'Junk' emails.
Most of my Junk mail is from a handfull of domains, so my solution is to first whitelist these domains in your Junkmail settings. and then also create a rule to 'mark as read' & 'delete' these domains aswell...
crazy crazy CRAZY workaround.... but works pretty well. -

Other free email services (Gmail, Yahoo, etc) have gotten their act together, and the only 'junk' email I get are from people who are not yet in my contacts.
Maybe Outlook should try to hire more competent technicians.

Junk mail filtering is horrendous!! Please fix this. I keep getting phishing scams in my inbox, and emails I actually need are in my junk, even when I move them to my inbox. So I"m constantly having to filter through junk AND INBOX every day and have missed some important emails

There used to be an option to create a "rule" to block a domain. That would help with reducing the phishing scams. Most of the repeats come from the same domain, but have different "prefixes" thus allowing the same email to get through over and over even though the recipient has sent/marked previous emails to the Junk or Phishing folder.

Any email that contains my user name in the body of the email is JUNK!! It's from someone who doesn't know my name and is trying to pretend that they do. That's a very simple rule to implement

This may be related to the Linked In hack that occurred sometime ago. I am getting more and more junk emails I believe from the Netherlands in Dutch language that I don't speak. I have tried to report as Phishing, but since they are going into junk email box, nothing is happening to get rid of them. I do scan the junk mail because sometimes something I do need has gone there and I have to move it over to my inbox. I don't click, open or respond to any of these emails in Dutch.

Yes this is very true , blocking doesn’t work, sweep rules don’t work and if you try and unsubscribe you get even more coming through, I’ve learnt not to unsubscribe leaving your email address it just gets passed on and you get more , redtopgames is becoming unbearable

Your junk classifier needs more training with clearly labelled data.
Of late, I am getting more junk emails in my Inbox, while expected emails end up in Junk box.
VERY annoying! Please fix with high priority!

As a freelancer, I've lost 2 jobs now because new clients' emails are automatically put in my junk folder!
How is there no way to prevent this?!?
