Junk mail options outlook 365

The never-ending battle against junk mail! Here are some options to help you manage junk mail in Outlook 365:

  1. Junk Email Filter: Outlook 365 has a built-in junk email filter that uses algorithms to identify and move suspected spam emails to the Junk Email folder. You can train the filter by marking emails as "Junk" or "Not Junk" to improve its accuracy.
  2. Safe Senders and Blocked Senders Lists: You can add specific email addresses or domains to your Safe Senders list to ensure that emails from those addresses are not marked as junk. Conversely, you can add addresses to your Blocked Senders list to prevent them from reaching your inbox.
  3. Spam and Junk Email Reporting: If an email is incorrectly marked as junk, you can report it to Microsoft by clicking the "Report Junk" button. This helps improve the accuracy of the junk email filter.
  4. Third-Party Spam Filters: You can also use third-party spam filters, such as SpamAssassin or SpamSieve, which can integrate with Outlook 365 to provide additional protection against junk mail.
  5. Custom Rules: You can create custom rules in Outlook 365 to automatically move or delete emails that contain specific keywords, phrases, or sender addresses.

  7. Outlook 365's "Clutter" Folder: Outlook 365's Clutter folder is designed to move low-priority emails, such as newsletters and promotional emails, out of your inbox and into a separate folder. You can train the Clutter filter by marking emails as "Move to Clutter" or "Move to Inbox" to improve its accuracy.
  8. Microsoft's Junk Email Reporting Tool: Microsoft offers a Junk Email Reporting Tool that allows you to report junk emails and help improve the accuracy of the junk email filter.
