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 totally agree with Alan. I am having the same issue. Marking Spams from years but the system is still bad. I use Hotmail as primary and Gmail as secondary, Gmail is peace of mind when it comes to spams. If they can do this efficiently why can't Hotmail?

    I don't have these issues with gmail.


    This doesn't necessarily mean that Gmails handling of spam is better (although it may be) It may indicate that the spammers haven't harvested your Gmail address. I get no spam in my Hotmail or outlook.com accounts simply because those address have never been harvested/leaked.

    Gmail does, however, appear to block more spam at the server level instead of letting it reach the user and sending it to the Junk folder.
