This is the WORST spam filtering of any of my email programs.

I am constantly getting junk in my inbox and important emails are sent to spam.

Even my upcoming vacation flight emails from delta airlines and other businesses. This is causing havoc and stress I don't need!

What are my options? Increase spam filtering and send more important emails to junk?

Lessen spam filtering and get more junk in my inbox????

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For business

    I don't understand why you can't create algorithms based on people clicking spam and then applying that to other users to automatically filter it.

    Especially ones that have special characters in the subject line.

    It seems so simple.

    And other email programs seem to do it better than microsoft.

    Here's one that should be easy to filter as spam, and yet microsoft filtering sent it to my inbox

    Here's one that went to my junk mail. It even says its a "trusted sender" so why is it in my junk mail folder????
