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.

    I believe you were fed a line of BS. Legitimate emails go to the junk filter sometimes abd have to be flagged as not junk. If what they told you were true, those emails would have been flagged as phishing already. They need to return this feature as it was. If they dont want to do anything with reporting phishing emails, then that is on them but at least let us get them out of our junk folders.

    At this point, I don’t think they do anything about it anyway. Maybe a ‘placebo’ effect for users to think/hope someone/somebot is addressing the problem and shutting it down, but it is obvious that Microsoft has given up the ghost in trying to protect its clientele from phishing and malicious spam.

    Nope, it's just as bad as it was before. I've had probably 3 emails about my erectile disfunction today, 2 about my failed deliveries, and at least 1 about my payment failure. All phishing, and I can't report because of this mess up

    Has anyone noticed a decline in scam emails recieved in junk folder? For the past few days I have had none.

    Yes, a definite drop in the number of spam emails, just a few per day. Except last Sunday, when a week's worth arrived at once.
