Forwarding of mail moved to the inbox (and junk..)

Have a hotmail account, and have it on a permanent forward to another account.
When mail comes in to the inbox, all works fine, but, most mail seems to end up in Junk, and this includes mail from legitimate or real sources, which I can't understand - including emails FROM these forums?

Ok, can handle that - if I was using it as a main or read account, and I know I can simply go into the account and choose to NOT add emails from this source as junk, BUT, even after I have marked it as not junk, and the mail goes back into the inbox, it wil then NOT get forwarded.

Would be great if mail coming into the inbox, was forwarded, regardless of whether it was NEW mail, or mail transferred from other mailboxes - and also the JUNK thing.

Is their any way around this, so that

  1. Only, mostly REAL junk, goes to junk, and
  2. Once marked as NOT JUNK, the email is automatically forwarded.

Thanks.

    Again, a fairly useless reply.

    I know exactly what safe-blocked senders are, and also all about white-black lists.

    The question asked was NOT about that, it was-

    Is their any way around this, so that

    1. Only, mostly REAL junk, goes to junk, and
    2. Once marked as NOT JUNK, the email is automatically forwarded.

    These are inherent issues with the way that hotmail-outlook works.

    Thanks.

    Hey Hornetster

     

    Thanks Of connecting Microsoft 
    I am assume that you have a hotmail account and from there you have forward the mail to other account.

    So here is some step you can follow on hotmail. it can help you. 

    • Login to Your Hotmail Account
      • Open your browser and go to www.hotmail.com.
      • Enter your credentials and sign in to your Hotmail account.
    • Access Settings
      • In the top-right corner of your inbox, locate the Settings icon (gear icon).
      • Click on it to open the settings menu.
      • From the drop-down, select "View all Outlook settings".
    • Navigate to Safe and Blocked Senders
      • In the settings menu, under Mail, choose Junk email.
      • Scroll down to the section labeled Safe and blocked senders.
      • Click on Safe senders.
    • Add an Email Address or Domain
      • Under Safe senders, you will see an option to add an email address or domain.
      • To whitelist a specific email address, type the full email address (e.g., email address removed for privacy reasons).
      • To whitelist all emails from a domain, type the domain name alone (e.g., @enrd.eu) to allow all emails from that domain to bypass spam checks.
    • Add to Safe List
      • After entering the email address or domain, click on Add to list.
    • Confirm the Whitelist
      • The email address or domain should now appear in your Safe senders list.
      • Any future emails from this address or domain will be delivered to your inbox without being marked as spam.

    Thanks for your time and cooperation on this conversation. Please feel free to reply to me if you have any concern.

      Thanks for the reply, but a fairly unhelpful answer.

      I know all about Whitelists-Blacklists, safe-blocked senders, etc.

      2 issues I mentioned-

      1- Only, mostly REAL junk, goes to junk, and
      2- Once marked as NOT JUNK, the email is automatically forwarded.

      ie Outlook is marking way to many emails as Junk, when they obviously aren't, and there is no easy way to lower the detection rate, AND
      once marked as NOT JUNK, the mails don't automatically get forwarded, when they are moved to the inbox...

      Thanks.
