I almost never get spam outside of the spam folder.
What I get instead is that half of the messages in the spam folder are not spam.
This is actually even worse than just not having spam filtering. I still have to pick the spam out manually and ignore/delete it, but now I have to check two folders every day instead of one.
- lpapez 5y agoSame thing with Outlook web version. There is no way to disable the spam filter, and various workarounds suggested by users on forums tend to stop working randomly (e.g. creating a rule to move each message where you are the recipient to "Inbox" worked until recently but no more)

- hunter2_ 5y agoSpam control isn't precisely an email problem, but a "system where arbitrary people not in my contact list can reach me" problem, same as telemarketers and SMS. Federated, open, lots of ways to describe it. I agree that positively approving contacts is a great way to avoid the threat of spam, but that concept does have occasional downsides.
