In the past few days, I've noticed if I tick emails in the Junk folder to "Report Phishing", they no longer go to the deleted folder. They disappear momentarily and I get the "nothing in junk icon, etc. but, if I go to the inbox and back to the Junk folder, those emails are still there in the Junk folder.

2024-05-21T14:21:48+00:00 Unfortunately, because Microsoft has a long history of "rules" not working or having the capability of being updated, many of us can no longer add more rules or addresses to the unsafe senders/block list. Unresponsive phishing and spam reporting has been going on for years! Emails that clearly should have been filtered according to set rules, simply don't work. The same blocked emails come through day after day, no matter what platform is used. The current issue of not automatically deleting a phishing email after reporting is just another straw in the camel's back. Here is is May 21st and I'm still having this problem. Just wondering how much longer Microsoft will point fingers elsewhere only to eventually ignore us. Not sure where the leak is, but there HAS TO BE a security risk somewhere in their software. I have and have NEVER HAD ANYWHERE NEAR THE MAGNITUDE OF ISSUES WITH PHISHING AND SPAM WITH ANY OTHER EMAIL AS I HAVE OUTLOOK/HOTMAIL. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with it for a while and I'm not AT ALL HAPPY ABOUT IT!

2024-05-20T00:16:15+00:00 I noticed a change when reporting phishing on their end. There is an alert that shows and when I noticed that the same issue happened for me. Exactly the same as the original poster explained. Does not work. I just block it now. I am not sure it ever really did any good because I never saw a decline in my junk folder but at least the function worked. Now nothing. There is no way this is a user problem with so many people experiencing the exact same issue. Microsoft clearly made a change and it simply is not working now.
