receiving many spam emails from sender renew@

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.

    Sorry, but I have only "Create rule" and "Manage rules" under "Rules", and none of them work the way you describe... :-(

    I don't know what version of Outlook desktop you are using but both in the initial rule creation and in step two above, the only option is to apply / run it against the Inbox. There is simply no other option displayed.

    I'm using Office 365 Outlook Version 2407 build 17830.20138 Click-to-Run.

    I have found however, if you manually run the rule later, it will allow you to run it against the Junk folder. I added "Run Rules Now" to the Quick Access Toolbar which helps a little, but you still need to select the rule and select the Junk folder.

    Sure, that would work, although they are not in my inbox. They are in my junk email folder. This is just as annoying and creating rules for this folder isn't possible. Thanks for your reply! Incidentally, there are quite a few users having the same problem from renew@ and preview@. I would think Microsoft would notice this and make a correction. Making a feedback request is ineffective.
