I really don’t want to change my email because all important contact info goes there, but this is driving me crazy!! Any suggestions???

Answer 1

In the web version just following methods one and two of the one I sent you earlier. The image I attached is from Outlook Microsoft 365.

Answer 2

I usually use the Mail app on my phone, but otherwise I use the web I believe, because my screen doesn’t look like your screenshot

Answer 3

Are you using the Web or Office 365 version?

Answer 4

Hi Vítor,

Thank you for your response. Since junk e-mails are usually from a bunch of addresses, it’s hard to implement your first 2 suggestions, but I’m willing to try. I would love to change the level of protection on my junk filter, but the directions to do so in that article don’t match what i see in front of me..? I go to Home, but where’s the Delete group?

Thanks again,

Victoria
