| ❌ Weaknesses | Details | |--------------|---------| | | Blocked emails go to Junk folder , not trash. You still have to empty Junk manually or via retention policy. | | No “block and delete” option | Cannot automatically delete without going to Junk first. | | Doesn’t block at server level | On IMAP/POP accounts, the block list only works inside Outlook—other email clients (phone mail app, Thunderbird) ignore it. | | Can be bypassed | If sender changes email address slightly (e.g., spammer2@example.com ), you must block again. | | No regex/wildcard support | Can’t block *@spamdomain.* or partial patterns. | | Spam filter overrides | If Outlook’s junk filter is set to Low or No Automatic Filtering , blocked senders may still appear in Inbox. | | No reporting mechanism | Unlike Gmail, blocking in Outlook doesn’t train Microsoft’s global spam filter. |
