The Mail app for Mac has several user-friendly features including “Junk mail filter.” When enabled, it filters out the unwanted messages. However, it’s not always perfect and at times wrongly marks even the regular emails as junk. The Mail.app's junk mail filter on my Mac serves as the junk mail filter for my iPhone and iPad since my iCloud account is an IMAP account and I don't have my MBP's hard drive set to sleep. OS X is designed to run 24/7 and the amount of energy saved with the hard drive set to sleep is beyond minuscule.

Outlook 2016 for Mac (aka Outlook for Mac for Office 365) has some changes compared to Outlook for Mac 2011 in regards to Junk Email Protection. This blog post will explain how Outlook 2016 for Mac handles Junk Email Protection. Please see the previous Blog post for more information on how Outlook for Mac 2011 handles Junk Email Protection. The first item to understand is that there are two types of junk email filtering: sever-side and client-side. Server-side junk filtering takes place on the mail server (such as Exchange) as soon as email arrives in the mailbox. Client-side junk filtering takes place on the client (such as Outlook & Outlook for Mac) when the email is downloaded from the server to the client. Outlook 2016 for Mac does not provide any client-side junk mail protection for any type of account (Exchange, POP, or IMAP).

Review your junk mail settings in the Junk Mail pane of Mail preferences, as well as any rules you might have created to handle junk mail, and make changes as necessary. See also Reduce junk mail in Mail on Mac Use the Touch Bar on Mac.

Instead, it relies solely on the mail server to perform all junk email filtering. Emails are not scanned client-side by Outlook 2016 for Mac to determine if they are junk email. Exchange servers provide server-side junk mail filtering, and most popular email providers, such as Hotmail, Outlook.com, Gmail, and Yahoo, provide server-side junk mail filtering, making client-side Outlook junk filtering redundant. It’s important to understand that junk mail filtering and blocked senders are not the same thing, although they are often used in conjunction. Junk filtering is when emails headers and content is scanned for characteristics that makes the email likely to be junk. When you add an email address to the Blocked Senders list, emails from that email address are always moved to the Junk E-Mail folder. I’ll cover and in more depth later in this blog post.
