How to Turn OFF 'Unverified Sender' Block on individual emails - or fully!!

I need to read the emails that are sent to me from genuine companies, but I am unable to view them because of the Unverified Sender block that is now placed on all emails that don't comply to new Microsoft policies.

I get that spam needs controlling - but I also need to see my genuine mails.

I need to know how to turn this block off at individual email level - adding to safe sender list does nothing.

Currently the only way I have to read an email that microsoft blocks is to send it to gmail.

Should not really have to do that!!

Please advise!

Thank you

Lisa

    Switch to ONLYOFFICE. It is FREE and nearly identical with Microsoft Office. It uses the same file types and its files are fully compatible with those of MS Office. It is not perfect, but neither is Microsoft 365. And, if you MUST stick with Microsoft, buy Office Home 2024 instead of paying each year for a Microsoft 365 subscription that gives you way more than you need. Most of us use only 10% of what we pay for. If millions of users switch to ONLYOFFICE maybe Microsoft will begin to care about its customers.

    Exactly. Ive been going through that same nonsense for years then finally decided, f this. I switched over to Mac.

    Enough. Time for them to grow up.

    How do you screw up a simple thing like email??????? It's not as though it's rocket science or we just recently learned how to program. For Pete's sake!! Stop f'ing around with things. Make one robust program that fully works. The ONLY closest thing to a program actually working is PowerPoint and/or Excel.

    Everything else, EVERYTHING else has flaws, incomplete processes and functionality that are standard, everyday, normal and expected functionality. Nope, we have to f around just for the sake of it.

    Now watch. Listen to all the ones in love with Microsoft, Microsoft lovers that are cognitively dissonant to these facts and try and provide reasons, which by this time in the game are nothing more than excuses.

    Anyways, get off Microsoft stuff if you can. They've had more than ample time to fix a simple matter of email

    Wow! The first time I tried the new Outlook, I switched back because it lacked the essential option of saving an email as MSG. Back then, I thought it was so stupid for MS not to add that option, and there were thousands of users complaining about it, receiving the same ridiculous cookie-cutter answer from foreign reps in these forums. I decided to try it again, and I was glad to see the "Save as" option available, until I discovered yet another annoying "feature" that is impossible to remove.

    It is time for me to go back to the regular Outlook again and forget about this trash for another two or three years to see if it gets fixed or replaced with another stupidity.

    Good for you!!! [insert clapping image]

    It's also why I'm moving everything off Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive for my Canadian Sync.com where your data is never shared with anyone.
