Something strange.. Outlook is marking Microsoft email as "spam"
Outlook seems to take malware and spam seriously, yet it labeled a recent message sent by Microsoft as spam.
Currently, the various email programs we have available have a series of automated filters that essentially block certain emails from reaching our inbox.
In a surprise move, Outlook itself is labeling a specific email from Microsoft, in which the company is talking about increasing the prices of one of its services, as “spam.”
They posted on Reddit a screenshot of an email they received from Microsoft about a Microsoft 365 price increase, and oddly enough, Outlook had it marked as “spam.”
This message has been marked as spam. We will delete it after 30 days.
Although Outlook then allows these emails to be moved to other folders, the user must perform this movement manually.
This isn't the first time Microsoft Outlook has flagged something specific to the company as dangerous, and it's already happened with the Edge extensions issue.
This is why it is always advisable to occasionally check the secondary folders of our email clients, such as spam, in case we discover something interesting that shouldn't be there.
