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????

    If the display name is or includes "Amazon" or "Wellls FArgo" or "Microsoft Teams" or "Netflix", and the actual sending address does not-- it's spam.

    Hotmail was excellent YEARS ago, then it got dreadful, and it's still getting worse to this day. Too many pointless aesthetic tweaks, not enough functional improvements. It's like you're painting a rotten bridge and wondering why people are still drowning. Fix the <removed> bridge fgs.
