Don't you think it's a nice day to throw something out?
So let me say, that Outlook is plain 🔥terrible🔥. OH THE FLAMES!
I'm waiting for an important mail, that would never come, because as I found few days later, Outlook threw it to spam folder.
I discovered further, that it throws everything to the spam folder...
Whoever came up with these algorithms did a terrible job.Sure yeah, the emails came from an online shop, but these were mails from a real person with a real name configured in the address and everything; Contents of the mails obviously looked like something I want to see (order confirmation / details / the fact the package has been sent to me), definitely not spam. What triggered Outlook? Containing "shop" in the domain they use? The fact they've linked their social media and stuff at the end? Yeah, it tooooootally has to be some nasty advertisement, because whoooooo in Equestria could possibly order something online?
0 effort has been put to scan the messages. If a real person looked at these mails for like 2 seconds it would be obvious to tell it's absolutely not spam. It just goes by some cheaply configured criteria.
But okay, maybe it was just designed to be really strict, but in that case, I should be able to configure it to my preferences or disable it altogether. Simple as this, tick it off and let me suffer from all the spam I actually have never received via emails in my entire life. I don't recall ever getting a single spam email I didn't ask for.
It only let's me whitelist and blacklist senders/domains, but since pretty much everything gets removed, am I supposed to whitelist the whole internet in there?
Also what is the point of blacklisting anything when everything gets wrecked by default?It's not about just a single mail, it throws more mails to spam than inbox. I'm not receiving any notifications because of that, I have to manually check that folder and keep marking these mails as not spam. At this point it causes more harm than receiving actual spam would do, because it successfully hides (and deletes after some time if kept there; so I have a limited time to view these) important mails from my view. What spam would do? Just annoy, but at least the legit messages would be safe. Whyyyyyyyy won't they let me disable this?
Okay, I'm done
