Every day I receive 20-30 emails where the sender from address starts with renew@ (see image below) Outlook is placing these messages in the Junk email folder. But, every day I have to scan the Junk mail folder looking for appropriate messages that should have shown up in my Inbox.
I would like to create a Rule that automatically deletes any message in the Junk email folder who's sender name begins with "renew@"
I have actually created a rule but I cannot figure out how to run it against the Junk email folder.

Hi Brian,
Do you know how I could submit an enhancement request to Microsoft so we could specify a folder other than Inbox to run Rules against?
Thanks
Paul
I find myself on the same position. I hate having to block +50 adressess each day and having to scrap through the spam folder just in case a false positive was detected... It's just a shame we can not apply rules to any folder... come on!!!
I have the same problem too! I am very careful with browsing and opening any emails I receive. I feel the renew@domain. com are from a hack originating from microsoft and it’s their responsibility to enforce the security of users. If you notice, all instances have occurred within the last few days here. Therefore it originated from microsoft being hacked in some manner.
I suggest you send an enhancement request to Microsoft. While in Outlook select Help, Feedback. You will receive a list of Feedback options. Select Make a Suggestion. Then, describe the issue and request that they enhance the Rules engine to also run against the Junk email folder.
If enough of us submit this request hopefully they will give us a fix to this persistent problem.
You can't be serious, Brian! In 10 days we would have ca 400-500 emails from RENEW@ and a few others, including emails that ended up in spam by mistake! Do you have better suggestion?
I'm in the same position. I have setup rules, even considered making them not be sent to junk in order for the rule to apply within the Inbox since it cannot be for our Junk folder. I'm considering switching to a different domain and starting from scratch with emphasis on plus addressing absolutely anything I use it for - I already have to pay monthly for this domain. Surely there has to be someway to filter these out. I've allowed to show block content only to see the spam is pulling random addresses from existing businesses unrelated to "write in" to unsubscribe. Every "Unsubscribe" link different and I imagine double down on you if you inputted your information.
