Receive a lot of spam emails, like the majority of people
While some may be legitimate, much of it is probably spam. Fortunately, Microsoft Office 365 provides several ways to help you manage your junk email settings and keep your inbox clean.
Any email from these addresses will automatically be sent to your junk mail folder. Email from these addresses will never be considered junk mail.

You can do this by clicking on the gear icon and then choosing Empty Folder from the drop-down menu.
