Windows 10: No junk/spam filter for IMAP accounts in Windows Mail?

Hi,


Hoping someone can help me as I've becoming overwhelmed with junk mail/spam 100+ per day.


This relates to an IMAP account I access via Windows Mail. There doesn't seem to be any kind of spam filter built into Windows Mail, except for with the two Hotmail accounts I also access through the app.


I've just downloaded a Mail Wash app but I'm not keep to have this running on top of all my other programs if there's a simpler solution.


I also have this problem on my phone, using the Outlook app Android and it doubles up the spam because it doesn't seem to sync with what I delete on my laptop and vice versa.


Ideas, suggestions, thoughts etc. very welcome.


Many thanks,


Liz

Windows Live Mail Junk not junk

You need to reread my post...it is NOT in the junk folder, just marked out as junk....Windows Mail does have a filtering system.
Your whole post does not make sense.....do you use Windows Mail?

 

Windows Live Mail Junk not junk

Sorry, no this is completely wrong. The sender is EasyJet. You might think they are junk, I might not.

Windows Mail doesn't have any junk filtering. It comes from the host. If it is in the IMAP folder called junk it arrives in the Windows mail folder called junk. If it comes from gmail perhaps it is called spam.

Maybe sometimes trash is called rubbish bin or something else but you must realise the folder definition and rules are on the host.
