Is there any prospect of ever having all SPAM detected and deleted or at least moved?

Every time that I log onto my PC there is yet more SPAM, always the same sources but the domain changes every time so not detected by Norton.

There is very little porn amongst the SPAM, lots for properties to buy or rent, comfortable slippers ......   The same ones every day and usually two copies.  Outlook does put some in the Junk Mail folder but there are always the same ones that I need to move to Junk but I cannot filter them because I cannot filter by the name part of the EMail address.

Hello JMB99. The Norton spam filter DOESN'T support the modern email protocols we have today, including POP3-SSL and IMAP & Exchange accounts. Ports also cannot be added to that purpose. Being that the feature has been ABANDONED and allowed to become useless, from where I sit, its worthless for the very reasons we need it to function. My suggestion? Block /blacklist "top domain" level spamming at your provider level. Using Outlook is an even larger headache. I block the ENTIRE DOMAIN at first then filter out what I see as legit. ONLY those message will make it to your inbox. Don't make the assumption that Norton anti-spam is going to do its job in a way that actually works. I filtered out, at the beginning in Verizon email at their site, what domains I wanted to force into my locked spam folder there. I NEVER see any of those make it into my mail account on PC or mobile. Its tedious but works.

Thanks, I had suspect something like that.

I think I will have to look around and see if it is worth continuing to use Norton.
