February 17Feb 17 I use Outlook in Windows 11 Pro. I get many many junk gambling orientated emails. Started a couple of weeks back and today 22 Junks. I usually Report them as Phishing, but have now set up some rules so that any emails with words pertaining to Gambling etc should be deleted.Does anyone know how long it takes Microsoft to implement these Rules please?
February 18Feb 18 (not an outlook user)Keep reporting as spam would be my advice.Then going through the spam folder.I would never terminally delete mails based on some rule.

February 18Feb 18 Been with Outlook for years and the only solution I have found is to just delete them en mass....checking first for any important ones of course.

February 27Feb 27 Proton mail is supposed to be good. I still use Yahoo although it's been a mess at times for many. Any Spam I just delete after checking, as some emails get sent there. Also have Gmail but don't use it much at all. I don't use Yahoo email for anything sensitive.
