Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments
The thing is that it started suddenly for me. Gmail does a better job. That's for sure.

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????

2023-07-23T03:12:20+00:00 Agreed, it's not great, but I've heard similar complaints from gmail users.
What's especially odd is that 99% of spam is plainly obviously spam and doesn't even come close to looking like it's genuine - to a human user anyway.
And to let emails that are replies to messages you've previously sent out from the same service go to spam just strikes me as a bug, pure and simple.
Absolutely inaccurate. I use both gmail and hotmail and the hotmail spam filter is atrocious. Microsoft lacks an algorithm that learns what we select as junk. With as much bragging as they do about their Bing AI, you’d think they could improve their filters. smh. On the contrary, Google does an excellent job at it. By the way, I’m an Outlook 365 subscriber, so I’m hoping that Microsoft gets its act together soon!
