Rules in Outlook '16 don't work - what do I need to do?

I have email in spam folder that I want in my inbox. I have spam in my inbox that I want in my spam folder.  What is there to entering a rule and having it work all the time?

  • You should not use rules.

    Use instead the Junk Email Filter:

      Thanks Sal.  The problem is I get my bank balance everyday.  It always goes into spam. I did mark it that it was not junk but seems I have to do it everyday.  What can I do to make it a permanent move to my in box?

        Have a look at the spam settings: do you have the sender listed (also) in blocked senders or in blocked domains?

  • Thanks for the question. I'm moving it to the Outlook space for better visibility.
