Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
None of the solutions mentioned in this thread have helped.
MY KLUDGE: I've basically found the "External" folder in my folder listing, and dragged it right below "Inbox". This way I at least know where the emails are going, and they're accessible.
Nothing else has helped - although for the known senders I keep making rules to move them into recognizable folders. Rules in Outlook for Mac btw is another example of horrible design. Setting them up should be much simpler.
