ICloud Emails Mostly Going Into Junk Folder My iCloud email account is sending real, and sometimes important, emails into my junk folder. It is the same whether I am looking at my email on the iCloud website, on my iphone or in my Office 365 Outlook app. It is a problem because I am missing important messages and sometimes they don't show up in Junk until a day or two later. How can I change this? Currently, I have to move each mail to the In Box. I'd rather delete junk emails from my in-box than lose them in the junk folder. I could not find anything in Settings. Thank you.

Emails keep re-downloading after I delete them I am trying to clear my emails out on the mail app. Every time I delete thousands of emails the mail app re-downloads them shortly afterwards. It is an iCloud email that I'm trying to delete them from so I know it's on IMAP. I have gone on the iCloud Mail via the browser now and deleted everything through there, hopefully the mail app doesn't download the deleted emails again. I'm just wondering why the mail app does it when I delete emails through there as I'd rather use that app.
