In Choose your flow’s trigger search for and select When a new email arrives (V2). Give your new flow a name, in my case Move Junk to Inbox (with filter). If this is the first time you use Microsoft Flow / Power Automate, select your country/region and click Get startedĬlick + New and select Automated – From blank Login with your private Microsoft Account (in my case my account). Everyone with a Microsoft Account ( / / ) have access to the free version of it, and you can perfectly use it to apply Mail rules as I will show you below. I found the solution to realize this in Microsoft Flow / Power Automate. (therefor create rules only in your online webinterface)
But I don’t what to check my Junk folder every few days, what I wanted to realize was to filter the Junk mail (delete mail that contains certain keywords or part of a sentence) and if a mail is legitimate that it will be automatically forwarded to my Inbox folder.
If I find legitimate/”no-junk” mails between dozens of junk mails in my Junk folder, I can, for example, add the sender to the “Save sender list” so that it will not be forwarded to the Junk folder the next time.
But in some cases also redirects legitimate messages to my Junk folder, and this force me to scan my Junk folder on legitimate messages every few days (default retention policy of let Junk items expire in 10 days). In most cases redirects all spam to my Junk folder, which is good. I use Microsoft for my private mail for many years now, and over the years I receive more and more spam.
