Windows 10: I am having lots of Junk in my inbox outlook every day. Can I get some tech support?

Hi, I am having a lot of Junk in my outlook inbox, every day. Can I get some tech help?Gary

:)

 

These are 'inbox' rules not 'junk' folder rules

I wonder if I've been automatically filtering my view for many years such that I chose to ignore what was right in front of my face. *Smile

From Hotmail rules.





From Outlook365 client rules.





The funny thing is that the rules I've configured over the years seem to work on the Junk mail folder but as we all know, they function as hit & miss, at the best of times.


This solution looks promising but I won't have time to test it for a while, I have too many outdoor/household related tasks to complete before the bugs become unbearable.

This is another 'manual' type solution that could always be automated. I don't appreciate how they make reference to 'The Safe Senders' list as though it actually functions for the Junk email folder. I'm looking forward to testing the above solution instead. *Smile

Outlook 2016 Junk or Junk Email

The folders you see in Outlook 2016, (or 365), are dependent on the services you are using, in exchange you can see multiple inboxes or combined inboxes for different accounts, the Junk can be separated into junk internal and external mail in outlook, or can be combined using rules

This is usually decided by the server admin to meet business needs, but when using Outlook at home there are some options to control inboxes, but less control of the Junk folders, I actually do all my sorting in the mail server before I see it. The server polls a number of accounts using Pop3 and collects the mail into a central account which is sorted using rules into various categories, and put into "folders" which I connect to by Imap. This means that Outlook (or any other Mail client) only sees one account and I have a tidy mail app

 

Outlook 2016 Junk or Junk Email

I have not used Outlook since 2010 but if I remember correctly, the default folders in Outlook have a JUNK folder and I think it was all in the same list with your email account folders. Try looking in Outlook settings for JUNK and or folder settings. Then see if you can set it to the IMAP JUNK folder or remove it in there.
