Microsoft Outlook is one of the email clients that people and businesses trust. Outlook can classify important emails from contacts as spam and automatically filter them to the spam or junk folder. Because of this, you can lose important communication that may take a lot of time later. However, since November 2018, Microsoft has significantly improved Outlook’s ability to automatically classify and filter malicious emails and phishing by introducing AI-based techniques.

However, many important emails are categorized as spam or junk. Outlook is very customized and can be customized to your needs. To do so, you can easily create screening rules to allow a job from specific contacts in your inbox. If you do not want to lose your job, you can turn off the spam filter and allow all posts (including spam) to your inbox. In our view, it is more important to teach Outlook to better email and rank spam better. This job explains this in more detail.

Here are some of the ways to prevent sending emails to the spam folder in Outlook.
