Do you require an effective spam filter for Microsoft Office?
I've been using the same email from my ISP for over a decade, and it's taking 5-10 minutes daily to manage spam and junk mail. Changing accounts isn't possible due to multiple subscriptions. The built-in filter in Microsoft Office Pro 2021 isn't effective, so I need a stronger third-party solution. I want it to block all suspicious domains and automatically delete them. Any recommendations?
Almost unachievable. Scammers constantly alter addresses, phrasing, etc., making any single filter ineffective.
Since you didn’t specify it directly, consider whitelisting.
But there might be emails from non-contact or whitelisted senders that you should review. For example, someone may update their email address or link to a new contact (doctor, business, etc.).
You’ll still need to periodically check the target dump folder for such messages.

Give whitelisting a test run, adjust as needed.
It’s likely these issues will become more troublesome over time.
We utilize the Trend Micro worry free service in the workplace, which filters emails and provides antivirus protection. It costs approximately $68 per computer.
Each individual receives a daily report detailing the emails that were blocked. If you require it, you can submit a request; otherwise, it will be removed automatically by trend.
The system also lets you add whitelists or blacklists for emails or domains, and it continues to process messages even if they are still reaching through.
For a company with around 50 emails, the service blocked 11,880 emails this week, and there have been no calls requesting releases.
So whitelisting appears to be the most suitable approach. It seems like you're looking to configure Outlook to allow only emails from specific addresses through to your main inbox while moving the rest to a junk folder. This would let you slowly reintroduce known contacts after clearing the junk folder. I don't have many emails arriving, so eventually you should be able to clear the junk folder quickly each day—close enough for your needs. Is this the method you were thinking about? If not, could you check the link again?
I can only recommend beginning with the link shared in Post #2.
Try this approach for a few weeks.
