Instant/Live Alerts for Quarantined Emails
Hello and hopefully this is the right forum. My work email is Outlook and is filtered through Windows Defender. I'm still not sure of what Defender does that the regular Junk email folder doesn't do....

Thanks for the reply and help. I'm not an admin but I do get notifications. I just get them the next day which is a day late, lol.
It's cludgy having to monitor a second account in a fast pace bid, but I guess if it can't be fixed, I'll have to use the work around.
Any idea why there is a spam folder in Outlook if there is a Quarantine site too? Why have both? If one isn't working good enough, why not get rid of it and only have one? If they are both working good enough, why have two?

Hi Chris,
This forum is focused on Defender for Identity. I'm guessing that based on the nature of your query, you'd be better placed asking about this in the Defender for O365 forum, which is the product we have that's designed to protect the email and collaboration space.
I'd probably suggest that you speak to your IT admins too - there's a tonne of options available around populating allow lists for known recipients and other settings that could make your experience more streamlined.
Hope this helps solve your problem eventually.
